[C320-list] Anchor recommendations

[Richard A. Walker]

You should be just fine with that set up.  I would lay down at least 7 time
the water depth in the rode.  I use a BRUCE 33# anchor.

Most of the time in Catalina you use moorings and they work great.  If you
use the mooring please use gloves.  There a allot of fish hooks in the
bottom line.

The main thing is to get a good set.  Take bearings on some objects to make
sure you have.  

Have fun at Catalina we will be there 3 weeks in September when the sun
shines and school has started.

Cheers,

We're planning our first trip to Catalina Island off LA in our 320. We have
a 22 lb danforth with 50 feet of chain and 250 of 3/8 inch nylon rode. We
also have an 11# aluminum Fortress anchor with 150' of nylon rode as a
secondary. We'd eventually like to explore the other channel islands and I'm
looking for some opinions on anchors  and tips for cruising catalina from
anyone who has cruised in this area.
