Clearly you maintain much better logs than I do.


Not really, was hoping for a real specific description whrer that
Rocna worked so well. ALso hoped to give Skip an idea of what to
consider when assessing bottom types: It all aint just "bottom."

I am truly interested in how that anchor works.


You're more than welcome to peruse the logs and glean what you can
from them. I think that I created about 50 logs last year and I'd
guess that about 50% of them have cruiser info incons next to them.


thank you. Where would I find that link??

You can find a link to my web site in my signature line. To make things
easy, it's www.GeoffSchultz.org

However, I will state that in the Caribbean and Bahamas that I
typically anchor in sand or turtle grass over sand.

So light color course sand primarly from coral?

I would guess that it was coarse ground shells or coral. I would lean
towards to shells.

The times that I've seen other boats drag where we haven't has
typically been in very coarse sand or turtle grass over silty sand.

Humm, and you stayed put when using that Rocna?


As I said, I've been very impressed with the Rocna. It's held in places
that the CQR would never have held. The only times that we've had problems
getting it to set is in thin sand over a hard bottom, but then I don't
think that I'd get any anchor to set well.
