If I were using a Danforth on bottoms other than mud, I would double
anchor more often. I've learned by hard experience that the Danforth
is less than 100% perfect when resetting on wind/current shifts. I've
never had a problem with a Delta, and I'd expect a Spade to do fine as
well. With two anchors this is not so much of a problem; I use a
Fortress as my secondary.

Up here, I could probably get away with using an old tennis shoe in
the SF mud. The big issue is getting the damn thing out of the mud and
then getting the damn mud off the hook before we stow it.
