Hi all,
I've been musing on how to handle anchoring in difficult conditions when single handed.
I don't mean the everyday non-challenging situations - I'm sure most singlehanded here can handle those.
I mean those when you absolutely positively have to anchor and get it right the first time.

For example, crowded anchorages, strong currents, excessive wind, close to rocks, etc,etc.
Usually, the problem for me is having to be in two places at the same time - the bow and the controls. In the past I've taken the anchor back to the cockpit and dropped it from there, but my new Mantus anchor is not so easily handled.

So, what do others do?

regards,
allan
