Until you have anchored in salt water..OVERNIGHT..in some remote cove on the coast of Maine somewhere....with a 10 foot tide rise and fall...going to sleep at night with one eye open all night....listening to the wind..looking up at the taletale compass over your bunk every 30 minutes....waiting....you have not anchored.
This is not to disparage anyone who anchors on a sandbar in 5 feet of clear water on a sunny afternoon. It's just different.  NB |
Yup, NEVER done that and I can tell you right now its not on my bucket list,,,
But again I'll give you the nod, that kind of experience makes a difference. When it comes to boating I'm a believer that a man needs to know his limitations and anchoring overnight and offshore in Maine is mine for sure!!!
I'm happy to be a fair-weather day-boater, and I load mine up on the trailer every night when I'm done and sleep like a baby knowing its safe and sound!
