[quote=shortyfox]The beach where I launch my boat has rocks so I always anchor. 2 feet of water makes it easier to deal with the boat and eliminates the necessity of lots of line. I use bow and stern anchors with bleach bottles for markers and leave them when I go sailing. I align the boat so the wind is coming a few degrees off the bow. Cats have a tendency to sail around on just a bow anchor and using two eliminates this and makes set up easier. I can only launch and retrieve at high tide so I usually have to leave it in overnight. Once again I align the boat for what the wind is forecast to be for the next 24 hours. I remove everything from the boat including the sails. Even though it's private property I feel it's less of a risk to not have a "complete boat" there free for the taking. Remember part B of Murphy's Law; "What can be f--ked with will be f--cked with".[/quote]
