If you have the correct equipment and know how to use it, why would you ever feel the need to snorkel your anchor?


Two reasons:
1) The liability of a $1,000,000 boat that I don't own.
2) I sleep better.

So I guess you never anchor in deep water, cold water, low visibility water or at night? All good skills to have.


Ghads.
I really don't want to get into a p_ssing contest over this.
When practical I dive the anchor. This means most of the time.
This is the BVI forum and I was talking about the BVI.
I was also talking about expensive charter boats that I don't own.
I almost never anchor in water deeper than 25 feet in the BVI.
I can snorkel down to 35 feet.
We are not allowed to sail a charter boat at night, so no, I don't anchor at night in the BVI.
