[Rhodes22-list] anchoring

[Michael D. Weisner]

Paul,

We must have beaten this topic to death several times in the past.  A quick 
check of the nabble archives under "anchor locker" yielded:

You get the idea.  Most of us seem to use a Rubbermaid basket in the laz or 
under a cockpit seat for the stern anchor, although I prefer a bag hung on 
the stern rail.  I still use the forward locker for my bow anchor rode 
storage.  I cleat it to the central foredeck cleat and pass it through my 
bow chocks.
