Re: Two anchors
Attach the nearer anchor by its tripping eye, some 3 or 4 m up the rode. Don't use it as an anchor, use it as a weight. This technique has value only when you have very little swinging room and therefore can't lower the amount of chain you'd like to. It helps hold the anchor chain horizontal at the bottom end. It's just a really big 'chum'.
