Constant wind ,one anchor off back going upwind .variable wind ,two anchors off back. NOT mushroom anchors unless it's for temporary anchor. Biggest mistake most folks make when anchoring is not enough rope. Drag/storm anchors are great . a large enough one can almost stop any wind drift won't do much for current. Old drift boats in rivers would use a heavy chain I'm told. The type of anchor you use makes a real difference. And the chain does also even on one of those plastic coated mostly useless weights nearly everyone uses now days because they are cleaner.</p></blockquote><p></p>
