Anchoring In Sand Over Coral

[rognvald]

I have searched the Forum for this subject and could not find anything. I would like to know who successfully anchors in thin sand over coral and/or coral bedrock and what anchor and techniques they use. We have previously tried to find depressions in the seabottom with more sand and/or weedy patches (for the same reason) to drop the hook. We exclusively use a plow and do not deploy a second anchor even in tidal anchorages. Some of our favorite anchorages for seclusion and beauty fall into this category even though we sleep fitfully.
