OK I know there's plenty in the archives on this but one question I'm still not sure of...
If I'm not sure which direction the current is pulling the boats away from the anchors is it reasonable to make a false drift just to be sure I know which way I'm going to go from the anchor spot. My boat's a sled and I'm never sure what the wind or eddy's might do to my downstream drift.
I've read all the archives but now I think I'm more intimidated than when I started. Does anyone have any other simple advice. Ive got 300 ft of rope and a 40lb rocking chair anchor with a float. I think I've got everything I need except experience.
