does anyone have a small mushroom anchor I can borrow for a week or so? In Half Moon Bay last year, after you all had sailed home, I helped Dave Morris raise all the danforth and mushroom anchors that he uses to keep the little floating dock there from being towed away. The SSS HMB race is the only time people are allowed to raft up to that little dock, and only because Dave spends hours preparing for it.

anyway, he said the little mushroom anchor is good to use as a stern anchor and I believe him. I believe anything Dave says.

I will be anchored out most of next week in one place or another up in the Delta (aka UpRiver). This is what my bow anchor looks like every time I pull it up. Without a windlass. Yeah.

Since it takes awhile to disentangle all that foliage, I'd like to limit the effort as much as possible. I cannot promise Marianne's ice cream, but something yummy in return. Thanks.
