T&T: Fw: setting and breaking out anchor

Cat's can be skinned in a variety of ways. I had a snubber plate installed 
just above the WL on Cigano and use 20' of 1/2" 3 strand nylon with a 
devil's claw as a snubber. Solved the problem of the claw falling off with 
changing bottom conditions by using a Velcro wrap. Simple, effective
