Question

You are getting ready to retrieve your anchor. Where should you position your boat?.

Answer 1

position upwind or upcurrent of where you actually want to end up

Step-by-step explanation:

Ideally, it should be a well-protected area with adequate water depth and a sandy or muddy bottom. Head slowly into the wind or current to a position upwind or upcurrent of where you actually want to end up. When you are at that position, stop the boat and slowly lower the anchor over the bow to the bottom.
