Thank you both for replying! It's a tough call since we do have some fear related to lost bags with Silver. Regarding the dinghy anchor, the "claw" hasn't been very effective for us over the years. With the Mantus (4.5 pounds in a bag for travel), I can throw it and the dinghy truly sticks - even in higher winds. It's great because we typically throw it and the back swings right up to the shallow water, then we step on and off. The guy that owns the Moorings boat we book turned me on to it (thank you David!) and I've always wondered why more regulars haven't bought these. Maybe others like the workout of dragging the dinghy. Maybe me and David are just too into our gear and we are weird. Maybe... We are leaving next Saturday and we are quite excited to get back down! I hope you all are returning soon. If you see a 43 Moorings PC with ECU and NC State flags, come say hey to the Simpson gang.
