Preferably choose an anchorage in the shelter. Do not lower the anchor until the boat slowly moves backwards to prevent the anchor line from becoming entangled. The anchor can dig itself in better if you reverse slowly.

Use a waterproof marker to mark your anchor line every 5 meters so that you know how much anchor line you have outstanding.

Always mount the anchor line to the bow, never to the rear of the boat. It is sometimes difficult to release a buried anchor again, by sailing over the anchor it is often much easier.
