Folks, with lots of people camping over summer, mooring boats off beaches etc, you might find this video by GT Buster Jones useful - he runs through his method of anchoring over sand, roping to a spot on the shore and retrieving without having to swim out the next morning - motivating to get it right where he fishes, which is frequented by crocs and sharks, and large tidal falls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T0Ed2JdNs4" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T0Ed2JdNs4 |

Yea I used to do this quite a lot. Only thing Id say is that I used to use an anchor on land as well. Wouldn't take much to pull a star picket over. Iv always said that all boats should carry 2 anchors anyway. You loose an anchor in rough ground and then have motor problems on the way back and it could be all over red rover, hence I always carry 2 anchors (and warps). Also I used to use a sailing pulley instead of one of those stainless rings. Im sure the stainless ring will work quite nicely with a small boat like in the video, but I used to do it with a 2ton+ boat.

| At times I will drop anchor and back up to a beach then put a stern anchor out to keep the boat close ish to the beach when stopping for a picnic or whatever but the ring/pulley addition could be good for longer stays ... |
