You can always look to see where others are anchored outside the mooring fields to get an idea of good spots. Also, make sure you put a snubber on you anchor chain, that way the chain cannot jump off the windlass. The windlass is not designed to hold while at anchor, just raise and lower the anchor.
We use a snubber, the chain jumped before the anchor touched bottom, never say never! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" />
