chain wrapping around anchor
After dragging I found the chain wrapped around the anchor. I have a bruce style anchor but I have heard other types can do this.

This happens from anchoring in a tidal area or with variable winds, and it's relatively rare but has happened to me a few times.

Are there any types of anchors that are immune to this or any way to prevent it other than using multiple anchors?
