that's what anchors are for..........


From my present experience in the narrow deep passages of the Pac. NW.
anchoring is not an option once a strong current is experienced. Most depths
are several 100 feet.

However I prefer remain at anchor and plan my passages through these narrows
while still in my anchorage from the night before. That is why I want a good
current atlas.

My experience and opinion, FWIW

Any "boat" that doesn't have 100 fathoms of anchor line fitted, is to
small to running around SE Alaska, and away from Home Port.
