How heavy is the mushroom anchor you use with your Potter? I bought an 8
lb. mushroom anchor to put inside a plastic "rocker stopper" with plans to
use that as a "lunch drogue". Do you think the little mushroom anchor might
actually hold the boat if set in mud (of which we have plenty in the South
SF Bay)

I've always used a mushroom anchor, even on a 23.5 boat, and they have
never failed me--though I have always anchored in a mud or sand bottom.
With a little tug the things seem to head for China and hold on.
