Is that an anchor or what???

We named the her “Frankenstein” when we first saw it but have changed her name to Diana, like “Diana Ross and the Supremes”. Sam drove Splendid around the anchorage as I fumbled on the bow with the anchors, shackles, and swivel. When I dropped “Diana”, and we backed down on her I almost ripped the bow off. It doesn’t “Plow” through the mud like a CQR. It just SET!

My windlass seems to labor a bit and as soon as I can upgrade, I will. I know trust for an anchor is developed over time and conditions, but I must say I’m going to sleep just a little better tonight knowing I have the “Mamma-Jamma” of anchors down, especially with these squalls rolling through all day :) It blows like hell sometimes.

Peace, Love, and Manson anchors!!!
