How to tie the Anchor hitch. ?? Also known as an Anchor Bend although that's a bit of a misnomer. This can be used to fasten a line to an Anchor, a warp to an Anchor chain or to tie your tender off onto a ring at the dock. Careful, it can jam, but it should be fine under moderate loads. ?? It's similar to a round turn and 2 half hitches except you tuck the working line through the loop of the turns giving you more friction and a stronger hold. Finish it off with a half hitch. ?? Add an extra turn at the beginning if you like. Why not? In fact this will make the knot less susceptible to jamming. ?? ?? ?? #hitch #hitches #anchorhitch #multihulls #thehitcher #sailing #catamarans #sailinglife #knots #sailingknots #ropes #bestknots #multihull #knot #boats #yachts #catamaran #rope #instaknots #seamanship #katamarans

This is definitely the Calm Before the Storm! We made our way to Marsh Harbour early this morning to hopefully find a good anchorage in anticipation of the weekend's big blow. Forecasted to be in upwards of 60kn, it's at least 20kn more than we've experienced. That's a LOT OF WIND! Suffice it to say, Marsh Harbour wasn't vacant. We were able to find, what we hope to be, a nice hole between some sailboats. To our aft are the folks from Sailing Zephyr...very cool. Anyways, we're confident in our ground tackle but you always have to worry about other boats dragging. Our anchor is a Spade 160 and is oversized for our boat...that said, if there's an abrupt wind shift of 180º, all anchors will have to reset themselves. This is definitely the Calm Before the Storm
