Thanks for the complement, Johnathan. Regarding the anchors holding,
this particular conversation related to sailing in the Galveston bay
area, with typical depths of around 9 feet. Offshore I plan to take a
sea anchor.

Since the Mac will not be controllable during a squall, then
your only hope for survival would be to hunker down below.
I'm hopeful you won't wet your pants more than a couple of
times.

I wouldn't bother with the anchors, however, since you're
unlikely to be able to grab 100 miles offshore.
