Geez, I just came into this forum to post on correct anchoring techniques, coz a lot of anglers just can't anchor correctly! Seems you've beaten me off the mark!With the marker buoy system, when you're over your mark, toss out the buoy, but then DON'T look back at it again until your anchor is finally set and your boat has come to rest.After tossing the buoy, turn into the wind, motor away the required distance, drop anchor, let out line, allow the boat to come to rest, THEN look to see how far from the buoy you are!After doing this a few times, you'll no longer need to use a marker buoy, and
