Knowing how to anchor a boat is one of those essential skills that every captain should master. Even if your boating expeditions start and end at a marina slip, there can be situations that call for dropping the anchor. Maybe you want to stop for a while at a pleasant spot just offshore and have a picnic lunch. Or there may come a day when your engine quits unexpectedly, and you need to secure your boat’s position before it drifts into rocks or another boat.
The steps required to bring a boat to anchor are fairly simple. But there’s a knack to it, and that can be learned only by practice. |

Have you seen the new 3-D shaded relief bottom charts? They’re “new” in the sense that they were first introduced in 2019, but are now pretty commonplace wherever captains and anglers are using Garmins. |

The difference between these new colored, 3-D bottom charts and the old two-dimensional maps is like night and day. |

A single glance at the screen will demonstrate the amazing difference in detail that this new technology presents. The 3-D perspective along with the color shadings offers detailed views of the bottom: natural structures like rocks and reefs, as well as artificial structures such as wrecks, debris and anything else lying on the ocean floor. |
