Next message: bv: "TWL: Northill anchor"
(SNIP) I'd like to know if, and how, you use the GPS anchor drag option.
What is
the proper radius to use?
Usually your GPS will indicate in hundredths of a nautical mile so using
6072 feet as a base you calculate how much you can afford to move or
swing before it becomes a problem. I always set mine in places like
Nantucket where I definitely want to get up for the tide change to make
sure the anchor resets. A remote speaker in the aft cabin is helpful if
the alarm in your GPS isn't loud enough to wake you.
