Clearly you maintain much better logs than I do.



Not really, was hoping for a real specific description whrer that
Rocna worked so well. ALso hoped to give Skip an idea of what to
consider when assessing bottom types: It all aint just "bottom."

I am truly interested in how that anchor works.


You're more than welcome to peruse the logs and glean what you can from
them. I think that I created about 50 logs last year and I'd guess that
about 50% of them have cruiser info incons next to them.



thank you. Where would I find that link??


However, I will state that in the Caribbean and Bahamas that I typically
anchor in sand or turtle grass over sand.



So light color course sand primarly from coral?


The times that I've seen other boats drag where we haven't has typically
been in very coarse sand or turtle grass over silty sand.


Humm, and you stayed put when using that Rocna?
