I understand the basics of anchoring scope vs. depth, snubber etc. I guess I am asking are the suggested anchoring places in the Crusing Guide accurate enough to go by.
I think the short answer is yes.
There are MANY mooring balls in the customary anchorages now, and as the years go by I find myself being able to anchor less and less. We always dive the mooring to verify that it's in decent shape. If it's not, we move.
There's a few places you can still anchor, but I suspect these will be filled with mooring balls sooner or later.
