During last year's Salish-100 small boat cruise, I did a presentation and demonstration of the three "Nearshore Anchoring" methods that I frequently use.
Nearshore Anchoring is a way of anchoring your boat in knee-deep water so you can go ashore while keeping your boat safe and accessible.
The three methods I presented are:
- The Bow-Drop method - a quick and easy method for brief lunch stops
- Clothesline anchoring - a longer term solution that copes with tidal changes quite well
- The Anchor Buddy - my favorite method that I use probably 90% of the time. It bridges the gap between the first two and works in most cases
