[C320-list] Anchors

[John Meyers]

It may have been mentioned before but there is a YouTube channel out there
called SV Panope where over that last couple years many types of anchors
have been tested and documented. What this guy does is suspends (floats) a
Go Pro camera a few feet above the anchor and records how the anchor sets.
He also pulls on the anchor from other directions to show what happens with
a wind or current shift.  There are several videos and they are, in my
opinion, very educational.

Enjoy
