[Rhodes22-list] anchoring

[Ellner]

I use my second anchor stored in the cockpit but when I put it out I 
let the rode slide through a large stainless clip that I attach to the
  bow eye and then cleat it where ever you like. Sometimes I cleat it 
from the cockpit and then I can adjust it from the cockpit  Pull it 
anchor up and reposition the boat right from the cockpit. Drop the 
rode and cleat it off.  As for the forewardanchor. I replace the rode 
tray with a piece of plywood with a hole cut-out that holds a 5 gal 
bucket.  The rode flays into the bucket much easier than in the tray.
