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

I wasn't quite sure what to expect! You should never go around without
one. But, you knew that. I don't know anyone who just goes offshore for
2
weeks without stopping somewhere for some reason.....but I'm not a
fisherman.

Having all chain rode and a powerful electric windlass kinda makes it
getting loose a moot point.... That damned thing even picked up a tree
the
anchor got caught in...no sweat.


You might be able to make a living hauling up trees if you can find the
right spot. Some of that lumber is quite valuable.
