Hi Steve:
We traveled to the 1000 islands about twenty times in our 35-1. Because
we went with two boys who really wanted to be in the thousand islands we
tried to shorten the time to get there. You may want to take your time
in the Bay of Quinte. Here's what worked for us.

Using a kellet is a good idea but I think also important when using a rope
rode is to have a good length of chain between the anchor and the rode. On
a C&C 32 I would say that about 35 feet
Hi Steve,
Hope to see you in my home waters during your vacation. I can
suggest taking the Murray Canal near Brighton while your heading east, nice
scenery and good anchorages in more protected waters if your into that kind of
thing. I'm at Prinyer's Cove, great bay for anchoring o

One thing about anchoring: it's a technique. It's not rocket surgery. Don't
be intimidated by it.
And don't be afraid to re-anchor if you're not happy with your holding or
position. Some skippers are concerned about looking foolish if they have to
make a second (or sixth) attempt. The experienced s

I like using a kellet, too.
One thing I do since I use iNav on my iPad is to make sure the tracking is
turned on, then zoom in all the way on the chart after we're in position.
An arc of lines will show my track as we swing at the hook. If there is a
single line leading to our position from the arc
There is a major problem with relying on most anchor alarms. If you have
100 feet of rode out and set the alarm for 100-150 feet, the alarm will
give many false positives all night long as you swing around. If you
have 100 feet out and set it to 200 feet to allow for a full circle, you
may drag
The operative phrase being "after you've set the anchor." Don't back down
hard until it's dug in a bit. I often see people drop their hook then rev
the engine in reverse and back through the anchorage dragging the anchor
along the bottom.

Stevan,
The most common mistake novice anchorers make is to not include the height of
the bow in the calculation of scope. For instance if it is 3 feet from the
water to your bow chock and you are anchoring in 20 feet of water, multiply
your desired scope by 20 + 3. So if you want 5:1 scope, i
Those are some great tips Bill, thanks!
Yes, I have been planning on anchoring off of Toronto Island all summer,
just for this reason but haven't yet. We've got some time still and are
committed to practicing before we leave for the trip. I've done it on
another boat, just not mine, and only for lu
There are a number of apps for smartphones that will alert you if you are
dragging anchor. Drag Queen wins for its name alone!
I'm a relative novice when it comes to anchoring, but I learned quickly
that its not enough to drop the hook and pay out the line. You need to set
the anchor by tying of
I would suggest that if you have little or no experience anchoring, you
go out and practice a little somewhere near home when you are not tired
and the sun is shining. It isn't rocket science, but now is the time to
get familiar with it, rather than at the end of a long day in a strange
harbor.
