Is the Bahamian moor dead?

[Paul L]

When I sailed through the Bahamas 30 years ago when I was a wee whippersnapper most of the boats were using a Bahamian moor anchoring settup -- one anchor up current, one anchor down current, both off the bow. This limited the swing radius of the boat and avoided pulling the hook out when the strong tidal current changed direction. Back then I was using Danforth anchors.
Cruising through the same narrow anchorages over the last month I have yet to see any boat anchored using two anchors.
Maybe it is the new generation of anchors that do a lot better job of resetting. We are using a big Spade. Did the new gen anchor kill off the Bahamian moor?
