Anchoring
Don't go into shallower waters
If your are unfamiliar with the area, anchorage that could become dangerous especially
if conditions change. Get in far enough away from shore to be protected, and stay
out far enough to make your escape easy if you have to .
Calculate your escape route.
Make written or mental note of the bearing(s) that got you in. After the hook is down, calculate the reverse track and record it in your log or someplace that will be easy to get to in the dead of night. Know the landmarks that will get you out.
Be able to cut and run FAST.
A electric anchor windlass (with good manual back up) an essential piece of safety gear aboard any boat. The ability to get the anchor off the bottom and the boat moving quickly is important when conditions change.
A manual windlass can be slow but it works as a backup in worsening weather
condition. A few rehersals with a new crew is benificial when later the boat may be bouncing in choppy waters and you may be getting pelted with winds and/or rain.
Make sure to at least get the ground tackle off the bottom quickly so that you can get the boat moving; the rest of the rope can be pulled in after things have calmed down.
