Well it appears that all good suggestions have been made here so I just wanted to share our recent experiences. To keep it short, in some swift top current we had an anchor pop and that was scary but thankfully we had a lot of anchor line out and were right there to resecure the boat however, that could have been really bad and over July 4th in the Keys, we had our boat drift off a mooring ball on the Thunderbolt. Not sure what happened as our usual person did not tie off to the ball but when we came up to do our saftey stop we looked up and the boat was gone:shocked2:. It was FAR away. We had to deploy our saftey sausages and sit there. Luckily the friend that was spearfishing WAS on the boat but hadn't yet realized he was off the wreck as the boat was secure when he got on. We had no idea he was even on the boat as it was so far away. We could only assume he was swimming to the boat. Please, please be very careful. We have had to learn the hard way.
