We would love to anchor out overnight, but have never
done it and have a few questions.

1. We have a P19 and one anchor, an 11 lb (I think)
Danforth. Should we get another anchor and put out
two, or should this one be OK?

2. Will a Danforth be OK when the tide changes 180
degrees, or will it tend to dislodge when we rotate
around? Is there another anchor type you might
recommend to compliment the Danforth for a variety of
bottom conditions? In Charleston I think we have
sandy, muddy, and weedy bottoms. No rocks I believe,
unless you count oyster beds.

3. How can you tell if a mooring is public or
private?
