GL: anchor advice

[Phil Bolin]

There are lots of thoughts on anchors.  I did the Loop and have traveled the
Bahamas.  I anchor a lot and in some high wind situations (35-50 kts).  I
use a 45 lb danforth on a 42 foot cabin cruiser, with all chain rode.  I've
never had a problem, even in high current situations.  In my opinion,
learning to properly set the anchor, not just dropping it, solves many of
the problems people experience from dragging anchors.
