    Que Linda (140,000 pounds) has a 350 lb Forfjord as its primary anchor. It
    has never dragged, including (1) a 48 hour stint of 50 knot winds at anchor
    in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, and (2) similar winds from Hurricane Isabel
    in St. Leonard's Creek, MD. A pair of disassembled Fortress FX-125s serve
    as backup.
