> We anchored out last night in the San Pablo Bay muck in the lovely general anchorage outside McNear's Beach, China Camp State Park, Marin County, CA with a 33lb claw anchor with 25' chain and 110' of rope rode. Twice in the night (once around 00:30 ~3 hours after setting anchor and 2hrs to high tide, the other this morning around 8:30a) Dulcinea had spun herself and wrapped her ground tackle around her keel and dragged anchor. It was no fun trying to undo the mess, twice. Thankfully we have a backup danforth that we dropped to slow the drag and give us time and slack on the primary tackle to untangle the keel.
