Nice article. The technique is also good when deploying an anchor to
join a star raft-up, which we're doing more often now that we've learned
the many blessings.

In reverse, steerage way is a best friend, but most of us are too
chicken to go that fast or to punch enough power to get to that speed
quickly.
