What do you do with your anchor when going offshore for a week or two?
Gordon


Mine is a Bruce anchor permanently stowed neatly on the bow roller with a
light line to stop it inadvertantly launching itself.
All the chain and the nylon rode is in the anchor locker on the foredeck.
Takes just a moment to have it ready to drop.



Do you think you'll need it offshore? Not sure how big yours is... I have a
small Buce (great anchor, btw), and I even stow it on the bay if I know I'm
not going to be using it. I'm thinking about replacing the light line I use
with a more robust bracket. It can get wild and wooly in the slot.
