Wind goes more than 180 degrees during night, there can be a problem. That’s when heavier can help. But better is to reanchor boat with same aporoach. If achor is heavy enough chain will pull around first if going 180 but anchor will only turn on bottom and should still dig in on same bottom. But I am not an anchor so this is literally all theory.. What I do know is with good anchor set up, do not anchor in woody bay rakino with not enough warp out on incoming tide at night, because your too keen to dive ashore to meet a new girlfriend when you have keys to a mates bach. That usually results in boat going for tiki tour and bouncing off rocks in middle of night while you are having a nice time. My boat still has the scars and lady in question is now my second wife. So sadly that is what I consider really hazardous!
