The last couple of years I have done the Texas 200. It has required some overnight anchoring. For the most part we pull our boats up on the beach and jam an anchor into the ground and we are done. One camp we could not get very close to the shore due to shallow water. I just hoped out into knee deep water with my anchor and jammed it into the sand. Seemed to work fine and I slept well.
I did these anchors with no rode. Should I have rode and how much? Also I am taking two anchors with me this year for safety and am thinking about using two to eliminate some swing.
Any and all anchor knowledge that you guys can provide is very welcome. I don't know if I have just been lucky or am just worried about nothing. Thanks.
