So here's why I wanted to post my results and will continue over the next couple weeks when I visit sandbars and other locations (the west side of Ragged will be a good test): my boat moving while 'anchored' was a legitimate concern of mine for a few reasons: we once had to chase it while swimming and, in a current and rising wind, it was hard; I like to sleep while anchored out and don't wanna wake to my outboard getting hammered on rocks; we're often close to people (sandbars/busier coves) and don't wanna be 'that guy'; if, God forbid, we ever lost power, I need to know we'd be able to stop ourselves from getting pulled into hazards; and, finally, it's just simply one thing I didn't want to deal with when boating. I wanna play with my kiddos...or sleep.
That being said, I'm kinda giddy about how well this anchor has held in what I would consider difficult situations: windy, busy, fast current. Certainly not hazardous conditions, but definitely at the extremes of where I'd be anchoring in the first place.
Really pleased with today's outing and, as mentioned, will continue to update this thread so's to maybe help people in the future.
PS Please feel free to PM me with questions or, if you'd like, to meet up and check it out.
Cheers!
