Thread: The Shumeister at night!

Dang, you google anchors and you can learn a alot. I didn't know all the different names for the different anchors.

So here's the story. First off, it wasn't supposed to be windy anyway. And we were kinda protected from the wind even if there was some. But the wind came anyway. I always carry a 15 lb mushroom anchor with me, and on this trip I bought a Fluke Anchor with in addition so I could hold the boat in one position. The Fluke Anchor I had was terrible, period. The biggest reason is probably because it's only 4 lbs. And I know you're supposed to let line out so it can grab hold, but that did nothing. Next time I bring my 10 lb Navy Anchor, and the mushroom. That should work. The Fluke (at right above) proved worthless in holding the boat. I bought it to throw out and do sea wall cleanup. It works well at picking up the weeds.
