Whats the wisdom on anchoring around bommies. Just got back from being out on the reef. The bommies make me nervous.

It's very difficult to find room to swing without risking the chain going around a bommie at zero dark thirty in the morning. Even if it is deep enough to not worry about touching the keel I still worry about the chain going round it and getting snagged.


Do you just not worry about that or set less chain than you otherwise would to have a safe scope.

in the pacific we floated our anchor chain .

our friends irelene & brown on "Blown Away" explain how it's done here


this minimises damage to the coral and the chance to foul a bombie, but nothing can eliminate completely
