Default Cruise Report and Anchoring Story

Moral of the story? You really can't be too careful when anchoring
for the night. The force of the wind at 40 kts is 16 times greater
than at 10 kts, and 40 kts is just a routine squall in my experience.

PS: Thank you Glenn Ashmore.

That 120 lb Spade is some awesome anchor, and it is darned cheap
insurance, especially these days when your first claim is likely to be
your last.


Sounds like a really interesting trip.

Cool dolphin video - I could watch that all day.

You can't buy those anchors anymore, or did I misunderstand you?
