It could not reset as the complete anchor was a ball of clay as big as the roll bar.... I know a lot of folks up the size of their anchor above the stated anchoring size by the manufacturer. I figure they understate the size of boat the anchor will hold so they do not get bad press.
ris, lot's of great observations and advice, but more important is that it is all poetically written... I suspect I could listen to you tell stories for days.
