Martin, I'm always looking for tips! I read alot about the anchor and I know it can be a heated discussion...but it seemed to rate well from all I read and I got one a bit big. Well, it says from 36-40 footer.
I don't plan to do too much anchoring the first time out. It is kind of an off week with the kiddies all going back to school so, we're planning on paying for moorings this time out.

Do you have any questions about the best anchoring set-ups and strategies, especially for that cruising area?

Best of Luck to you all in Issac's path! I've finally got Lolita out and sailing on Sunday. Things went very well (with the exception of a temp alarm going off falsely...) The A4 runs beautifully, we didn't have a a lot of wind but I managed to get about 5 knots out of her at points but I have to say, she moved along a 2 knots in very little wind. It was a good day for the initial sail and great to be out of the marina!!! I'm also having a little trouble finding charts of this area. There is Narragansett bay to cuttyhunk to block island but I'm going to be a bit east of that. I'm looking for Buzzards bay, Elizabeth Islands, Martha's vineyard and Nantucket (I once knew a man from there...), Any one know if there is book that covers all that? So, we're planning to head out to Martha's vineyard on Saturday for a week! I just picked up a new Rocna 33# galvanized anchor from defender for $299.99. I found this to be a great price and I'm not finding any negative feedback from this anchor. It's funny as the info I am finding from a few years ago indicated the Rocna was pretty expensive and people were going with a Manson. Which is a very similar design but was supposed to be quite a bit cheaper. Turns out I'm getting the Rocna for about $50 less than the Manson. Anyway, I just wanted to share something other than working on the boat questions...
