Oooops, I stand corrected. I meant having 2 anchors off the bow at angles. Thanks for the correction. Did not mean to misinform or mislead. I got shook up remembering one night.

It was a long night some 20+ years ago. No bad weather was predicted. We were out at a friends' on Rattlesnake and headed home on a Sunday evening to Lakeport before it got too late. The lake was very quiet and dark...about 10 PM. Storm blew in on our way. We actually lost sight of mainland while trying to get close to shore. We did get close to anchor. Some of the waves were coming right over the bow and breaking on the windshield. (1965 wooden Century Raven) not a little light boat. Stayed in the small cubby w/jackets on. Was a hairy night, never to be forgotten.
