Who could tell? His theory was that regardless of where the wind was
coming from, the inertia of the boat would set the anchor and everything
would sort itself out when the boat came to a stop. I anchored out with
him a few times, same technique each and every time. He had something of a
self-destructive streak, and died under questionable circumstances.
