"fly" is my way of saying, "...it is hanging from the bow"

1 question. How do you "fly" an anchor? Curious minds want to know.

Greetings,
I admit I am completely ignorant when
it comes to windlasses. INDIGO (1978 36-footer) has a double bow
roller,
but we only fly a single anchor. We carry a Danforth anchor on 33 feet
of chain to braided rope rode. Like a schlub, I just set it and pull it
up by hand.
My questions:
Would a windlass be a welcome
addition to our anchoring arsenal?
What about the chain/rope
connection?
Can a windlass accommodate two anchors on the bow
roller?
Brand/model recommendation(s)? (We are partial to Lewmar for
our winches)
What else do I need to consider?
Thank
you,
Richard

I agree with Colin, I have anchored comfortably
at Vineyard Haven (and other places). I agree too that
anchoring
is the way to go. When I anchor, I feel smarter and more
sailor-ly. Heck, I paid for the anchor, chain, and rode, I'm
gonna use it. Also, every night anchoring saves us enough $$
for
another dinner ashore!

Harry,
Disagree on
the traffic/bike issue. The island has a
pervasive
network of bike trails. The only
limitation is the strength of one's
legs.
-
On
moorings, yes there are lots available, but they're
expensive
compared to laying down your own anchor.
I
know lots of people are uncomfortable anchoring, but the more
you do
it, the more you'll swear by it as your preferred
method of mooring.
(Having good ground tackle, a sweet bow
roller, and kickass windlass
makes this much
easier)
Cheers
CK
