second and third heavier, to back it up."
Bob, could you briefly describe your chain snubber? I have an all chain rode, but haven't used a snubber because frankly, here on the TN River we really don't have a problem with anchor drag. I don't go out on the weekends when the weather is predicted to be snotty, so the usual procedure for us is drop the anchor, let out the proper scope, back down on it a little, and then it just sits there until I raise it before I go home. Next year, though, I plan to start on the Loop, and I need to learn about snubbers. I appreciate any help you can give me, or point me to.
