Default Anchor watch by GPS - what do you use to wake you at all times if necessary

Buy and learn to use a better anchoring system. Let the morning sun

How about buy and use a better alarm system? One that watches for high
water in the bilge, explosive atmosphere, carbon monoxide, fire, close
targets on the radar. Big ships are so insistent about keeping track
of such things, that they have someone on watch, with some sensors,
the radar, the view out the windows, all that good stuff. And
instructions to call the captain when in doubt. A good alarm cuts out
the middleman and calls the skipper itself.
