Do you re-anchor when wind/tide changes direction?

I have dragged twice in Pullers, once in a Northerly and ended up near the rock SW of the mooring buoy but it was no problem, only moved 10 yards or so.

More scary was in a wind from the SW, doing a Meerkat everything was fine for 20 mins (waiting for he kettle to boil) then I twigged we were moving, actually quite quick, crew alerted they were wanted on deck ASAP and I was up and engine on. Re-anchored in virtually the same place and was OK for another 24 hrs.

I have heard the bottom is well ploughed so problems may occur, but it's quite pleasant and no problem in settled conditions.

Perhaps I should use the Delta which is in the locker rather than the Danforth which is ready use on the pullpit.

Quite a lot of people seem to drag there. I think the best holding is just behind the island on the left as you go in. We sat out a gale there but not many of the dozen or so other boats remained through the night.

That's where OP got his anchor fouled for a couple of days last season so I can see why he would go for the shallow end.
