with an anchor alarm is that you always forget to set it until later. By that time the boat has drifted around to who knows where. Then the wind goes flat for an hour then the wind comes up from a different direction. That's when the guessing starts. Am I dragging or is the other guy? How many feet does the idiot have out? Geeze, he's got 300 feet of nylon in 20 feet of water! How the hell did I miss that? Was he here when I came in or after? Then it starts to get dark and the fun really begins.
