Re: Anchor inventory/plan for TS/Hurricane conditions

The Fortress seems a bit small, but then again they hold about double what the regular anchors do. One way to cure this is to get a Danforth steel anchor in a bigger unit. Same great holding but the Danforth's are cheap now days and wouldn't cost much off craigslist etc. Get a couple big Dan's and bridle them with a big swivel in the middle?

Re: Anchor inventory/plan for TS/Hurricane conditions

Whatever arrangement you choose, secure the boat, and take advantange of the short kayak distance you specified to get the hell outta Dodge...no boat is worth dying for.
