On the subject of the Fortress aluminum anchor let me say this. Every

real
sailor knows that a light aluminum anchor is a joke in anything but ideal
conditions.


Wilbur got that right anyway. And Fortress anchors are not even solid.
some parts are held on with little screws!



So what Neal is saying is... use an anchor appropriate to the bottom.
Duhhh... not exactly rocket science to figure that out.
