I like big anchors & lots of chain.

And lots of scope! If I expect a blow, I'm not against having 10:1 scope.

Since I stick to the Chesapeake and rarely anchor in more than 10',
some consider our 250' of rode on the bow excessive.

Then there was the time we couldn't get anywhere shallower than 30' and
the squall was impressive, even for the Bay. We stayed put, others
dragged.
