Default Re: trouble anchoring

By the sounds of it you have enough chain. Try this next time.

1) Don't just toss the anchor out and let if free fall with no pressure on it since this might be causing the chain to get caught up on the anchor. Keep at least some pressure on it until you feel the anchor hit bottom....

2) Once you feel it come in contact with the bottom pay out some line and every once and a while put some slight pressure on it to try and get the anchor to set. Repeat until your anchor digs in and catches.
