Re: A Guess at how Quick you can Drop your Anchor in an Emergency?

Now here's a credible case with a need for quick anchoring. Were you on the Ashley River at that anchorage where the flood tide puts you toward the 55' bridge? ....someplace else?

Re: A Guess at how Quick you can Drop your Anchor in an Emergency?

I can imagine the emergency to anchor quickly. I would consider that place between Jupiter Federal Bridge an the Jupiter 707 bridge where the current is ripping and if you made it through one bridge...

All good choices by Onestepcsy37 and by GILow; however, neither seemed to be in a situation of emergency. Soft mud with "onestep" and no anchoring occured with GIlow. I still think such emergencies...
