T&T: Anchor clone

[Warren Hall]

Hi.........My experience with a CQR is the same as Chuck and Susans. Some
bottoms it takes longer to get a good set but it will generally set and hold
in most bottoms and never had a problem when the current reversed. A good all
around anchor.
Something that I have seen in the anchoring posts bothers me a bit. THIS ISN'T
DIRECTED AT ANYONE IN PARTICULAR. However a number of listees continue to
mention that different anchors are not good in grass, or that a certain one
is. I suggest to all that grass bottom areas should be avoided as these areas
are important habitat  for small fish, crabs, manatees, conch ect. Anchoring
in these areas are prohibited in some places. Just like propeller scaring
harms the sea grass beds so does a line or chain running across them and an
anchor repeatedly dragged through them while trying to get it to set can do a
great deal of harm. It is generally possible to find a better place to anchor
. Yes, I'm sure many listees have stories about the time they just had to
anchor over grass, I'm just suggesting that we all avoid it as much as
possible.

Thank you.............Warren
