I know, sorry I was being a little flippant. The mere mention of Rocna a few other boating forums causes virtual server meltdown.

My plan would only be to leave her in if it was dead calm otherwise I will pull her out every day.
Dude, u gonna be in soooo much shit!! you gotta marry her!

Whenever I've left a boat at anchor overnight I've used both anchors off the bow . Make sure both are set , but with little or no 'pull' on the back up . One acts as back up incase the main one fails and gives the ones thats slipped a chance to set again naturally
Or you could do a Whisper and forget to tie the anchor on and throw it over!!

There is a cheaper alternative (knox anchors) who claim to be better than Rocna.

Those are made in UK.

Brilliant!

I've been on a couple of Rib nob gang 'parties'. It's starts with "Yep, we'll be there, but actually we wont" or "we don't have enough fuel to go all the way around", then "I'll have a half of lager as long as it's not my round" usually ending with "we'll be having a fish and chip supper and and early night back at the tent".

Rock and roll it sure aint.

I may add that the old Cornish Roy Cruse organised trips were a whole different story.
