Hey she is out sailing isnt she?

It is a difficult lake. It is very small, and I dont own a boat with a motor o it is impossible to dig the anchor in properly. So, I bought a 35 pound mushroom and just plopped it on the bottom fo the lake. So far, 15 mph and it hasnt budged.

wow in 6 feet of water i would want a 42 foot line? That seems crazy!

really, that small? I have a 12 pound danforth that did next to nothing in 10 mph winds! is it the shape that will make the difference? I have to leave for days at a time so I need to know for a fact it will will hold. Thanks!

What do you guys recommend for an anchor? I have a 12 pound danforth, and we had 10 mph winds last night. The boat drifted about 100 feet in 12 hours, and got dangerously close to the shore(rocks). I moved it back out and put several very large rocks on top of the anchor, but dont want to do...

Yes I got an incredible deal. Got the boat, 2 sails, and anchor for less than the price of a sail. I have no clue why they let it go for so cheap, but the million dollar house it was in front of may explain it. Good call on the trailer, DMV sucks right now and I would have to wait up to 2...

Thank you, I was wondering but was so tired I figured I'd just post and say hi anyway. Thanks!

Hey I just got a great deal on a white and blue minifish, with 2 sails(both orange). It is a little difficult to get in and out of our area we have on our lake, which is around 8 feet wide. However, the steps are treacherous with a boat in hand. There is a launch ramp that is a much safer...
