Our first several anchorages we did not leave the boat, except for some puttering around in the dink still in sight of it. So we had some time to develop experience with and confidence in our ground tackle. And whenever we anchor, we try to remain on board for a while to make sure the anchor has set well and we are not moving. When anchored in reversing currents, we like to be aboard for the first couple of changes, again to make sure the anchor is not breaking out. I confess I am still a bit nervous when well away from the boat during a reversal. Then I use Marine Traffic on my phone to keep tabs on the boat at anchor, so I can see if it is starting to drag.

I would think a river would be especially nerve-wracking given the constant current.<br /><br />I must also admit I've become slightly obsesses with this blog because you're living an experience I find enviable and fascinating. I even figured out how to get my own "live" updates on you via the marinetraffic.com website. Is that stalking?Shawn B,noreply@blogger.com
