Spending the day with Anchors!
With no wind today, I spend the whole day playing with anchors! I take my Bruce and new Danforth Anchors and test them at various locations on the lake. As usual I try and impart the expertise I have learnt, but I just try to be as transparnet on how things go during the day. I hope this one will be useful.
