As keeping your boat securely connected to the bottom is really important for the safety and well being of all distance cruisers, an ongoing discussion of issues about gear and technique can be very helpful. Ground tackle has been dramatically improving over the past few years, and as a result techniques for deploying that tackle have been modified.

This is a great place for members to share their experience with newer anchors and related gear, tricky anchorages, and tips for effective technique.

And if you have a great story to tell, please share it. We all know that anchoring is a spectator sport, and we all love a good story.

Daria,
I think the error message relates to the email notification of your posting. No idea why the email failed but the post is fine.

I have updated your list of anchors and added you as an editor so, by clicking the view report link, it should take you to your google account log on. If you then log on you should be able to see the report in real time. Let me know if it doesn 't work for you.

I have also added in Bill 's suggestions.

I 'll post the link on Facebook and perhaps put it in a more prominent part of the Forum? do forward it to Dick and Colin for wider publication if you wish.
