[quote=MN3][quote]What kind of anchor do you guys prefer? I've been looking at anchors, but haven't bought one yet. [/quote]
There is an anchor for every condition (grass, sand, mud, etc) but no perfect anchor for every condition.
around here most use a danforth as it works best in our sandy bottoms of the gulf. It's not so great around the sea grass's but will eventually grab (maybe).
Most of us carry an anchor and we island hop a lot . we anchor just off the beach (otherwise boats seem to need a lot more attention on the beach with every wind shift)
I use a FORTRESS anchor (alum). they are very light. I have about 5' of chain on the end of my anch line to prevent chaffing, getting cut on a shell and to help the anchor sink and grab
