Anchoring.

When we anchor it is like a bit of art. We try to found the best spot the calmest, the safest with a lot of privacy. Some sailors like to anchor way too close i never understand that (especially catamarans). A lot of time a beautiful spot in the afternoon can turn into a nightmare true the night. because change of the weather. Before we dropping the anchor we have to take it to consideration that the weather might change or some "not thinking sailor" will anchor just behind us. So when we drop the anchor we have to make sure that is not just lying down on the bottom of the sea that is really dig down in the send well, and also never save on the anchor chain. We have it so just let it out. We all want a good night sleep. No matter what all the safety preparation all the caution weather can change quickly and we can drag anchor. Sooner or later every sailor will experience it. Never panic just need to do your best to stop the boat from dragging. My personal preference is to sleep in a mangrove island, no matter how windy or stormy you will have a nice and calm sleep there. Nothing is better when you wake up after a good night sleep at the anchorage to go on the deck with your coffee and watch the sun rise.
