As always, I enjoy your videos. The joke about CQR is that it stands for "Can't Quite Reset". Sounds like you experienced that. I switched from a plow anchor (which dragged in Detroit Harbor) to a Rocna 10 as my main anchor for Seraphim (our Catalina 30). I have a Manson Boss as my secondary. Now no problems. Last year we had both set in Jackson Harbor in Sturgeon Bay when a 40-50kt storm blew through. We didn't move an inch. Both are rock solid options in my opinion.

If you have a topping lift for the pole, you can keep the pole weight from dragging down the clew of the headsail and get better shape into the sail by decreasing the downward pull and also being able to push the pole more forward to open the sail up more. Great video!

You got some nice footage of the Niagara escarpment. I couldn't see if you were outfitted for companionway doors or hatch boards, but you crossed Eeaths Door with your companionway open which is fine as long as you don't ship a cockpit full of water all at once which can happen when you're being pitched and tossed.

It’s not always blue sky and good wind and a beam reach. You guys did a great job and tested Yourself and built confidence in yourself and your new boat. Two things you can do for your Anchor issue. Add more chain or make a messenger with a weight and separate line. On a Carbineer send it down the anchor line to the seabed then raise it up 5 to 10 feet. This changes The scope of your anchor line as well as acts like a snubber. Cheers Steve 9:32

In regards to the anchor - you probably aren't setting enough scope out so the anchor isn't digging in properly. Use a 7:1 scope or even 10:1.

@@davethewave1898 we always use a 7:1 in calm waters. I did a bit of research and these anchors should land on there side, drag a bit, then rotate and dig in. We will try 10:1, maybe it will help it rotate.
