You forgot to mention Spade and Rocna, quite possibly the two best all
around anchors currently available - very easy to set, great holding
power and work well in a variety of different bottom conditions.


Wayne - if you get a chance, stop at Eleuthera while in the Bahamas. The
island is gorgeous, loads of beaches and small towns/ports, and probably
still not on the beaten path. Spanish Wells was a beautiful place back in
the mid-60's and probably still is.
