Boat anchoring and maneuvering are two of the most desired skills in boat handling. The essence of good seamanship demands that the boat operator be able to leave his slip and arrive at his destination safely, and to be able to skillfully anchor the vessel. Correct anchoring simply means that the vessel is going to stay where you put it without dragging and or interfering with other vessels at the anchorage.
