T&T: Anchor Size Recommendations

[Milt Baker]

Rafael,

Sounds like you're on course to a lot of nights of sleeping soundly at anchor . . . 55 KG sounds just right!

Enjoy a cold San Miguel and enjoy the sunset as you contemplate anchoring with confidence!

We're trying to get a Rocna 55, which, as Rudy pointed out on this
list, weighs a lot more than 55 lb, probably 150 lb. We have a good
NZ-made 24V windlass. It has a manual crank backup, hope that works
if we ever need it.

Subic and Olongapo are much quieter now that the US Navy has left,
but there are maybe 50 ships of varying nationalities parked in the
bay, waiting out the recession. The San Miguel is still cold.
