T&T: anchors

[C. Marin Faure]

 >Based on that, I swapped by 170 pound CQR for a 155 pound Rocna this
spring, and after a few weeks on the hook, with a different and
challenging anchorage every night as I traveled from Seattle area to
Juneau, I'm convinced.


We replaced our drag-prone Bruce for a Rocna two years ago and have  
never regretted the change.  The only downside is that the Rocna  
sometimes digs in so deeply that we have taken to using a buoyed trip  
line to back it out as a matter of routine.  But we would much rather  
have an anchor we have to back out on occasion than one we don't trust.
