Anchoring for Squalls

Dragging anchor is no fun. At best, you end up on deck in less than ideal conditions — often the middle of the night and/or a squall. At worst, there’s boat damage and injury to people.

By always anchoring as if we know it’ll blow 50, we’re ready for the times it does. Here, I tell how we do it.
