Back is good. Boat is insured. lol

Also, I tend to be pretty cautious about where I anchor when by myself. I
don't put the boat in a spot that's relatively unprotected should the wind
increase, such as near the entrance to Sausalito. I stick with the lee of
Angel Island or Paradise. Local knowledge and all that....

A lot depends on priorities and how you use the boat. If we're out
cruising in the boondocks the anchor system *is* the insurance policy,
the insurance that we and the boat will be ok when, not if, a squall
comes through in the middle of the night.

On the other hand if you are mostly say sailing in your own backyard,
any old lunch hook will do. I'm always amazed at the holding power
of a well set Danforth 13 pounder.
