Ok, I'll throw my setup into the pot. Nothing as ugly as
George claims, maybe. Lessee....

A 15# Danforth hanging on the pulpit, 6' chain, 120' nylon.
Came with the boat, worked great on the overnighter in a
clean sandy bottom.

A 2# grapnel on 100' paracord, hanked to 33.33' for storage.
4 prongs.

A 5# mushroom, intended as a lunch hook and a weight for
mooring with two anchors off the bow. I'm tired and can't
recall the name of this mooring, Bahama mooring?

Two dog anchors. These are the screws you screw into the
ground and attach the dog's chain to. He can run around it
and the swivel prevents the line wrapping around the thing.
Works good for a shore anchor, bow to shore, stern to shore.

Assorted line lengths for dock and the dog anchors, 25' to
100'.

I want to get another anchor, haven't really decided on
any in particular, but I do have my eye on the second best
one in that test in Practical Sailor.

A very tired
