Captain Eric Sorensen of Sorensen's Guide shows you how to make boat anchoring simple. You'll learn how to drop anchor for a nice afternoon on the water in calm conditions. Eric explains how much line to let out, how to tie off, how to back down to set the anchor, and boat anchoring tips and anchoring techniques. He then shows you how to weigh anchor (or retrieve anchor) by using the engines to break it free of the bottom and bring it the rest of the way in using the windlass.
