I stopped using Danforths about 15 years ago, finding that Fortress anchors are far superior. In most anchoring situations their ease of use and holding power are great. Although most of our boating takes place in the ocean, Fortress anchors have worked well for us on Winni, too.

For exposed overnight anchorages in the ocean I use a CQR anchor. This heavy duty anchor, by the way, was found in some rocks in ten feet of water while I was snorkeling near Bear Island. It was in excellent condition and sold for about $150 at West Marine! Someone must have been in a real hurry to leave it behind. Don't even THINK about claiming it was yours! http://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums/...lies/smile.gif
