what anchor set up do you use/

[Wedger]

Graham, the horse has bolted I know but Tie a buoy / fender on and go back at slack water?

Thanks for the help and advice gents - lots of useful information and tips. I'll let you know how anchoring with the 5kg Bruce goes - when I get out again.

I did tie a buoy to it and marked it on my plotter. I will pop out there tomorrow and see if i can get it back. Any ideas when slack water out towards Poole Patch tomorrow?

Will do Tony and thanks.

 

I have been watching windguru and they have dropped it to force 3 to 4 with minimal swell.

 

I dont do swell so wont be taking any chances.

Now you have posted the details that it is buoyed, perhaps keep us informed if you get it back - if not, someone maybe heading that way and be able to help - hopefully they will advise you before they go and you can ping them the numbers.

As I would have been on my own today due to my crew having been summoned by his little lady to assist in the festivities i decided to give it a miss today (also my dogs were not that well and could be doing with company).

 

I popped down to the boat but the hull was frozen solid and like an ice rink. I don't think

[Graham Nash]

I popped out there today to see if i could get my anchor back but it was nowhere to be seen :-(

 

It would have been rude not to drown a few worms & squid while i was there but that proved as fruitless as finding the anchor.

 

Anyway thats probably it till after Christmas for me (unless I manage to squeeze a few hours in tomorrow or Thursday)
