Shaw Island, Park's Bay and Blind Bay.

Took Cupcake  to Shaw Island Park Bay and then Blind Bay. Both are  beautiful anchorages protected from the winter Southerlies. I did a mini set in Park's Bay and then a second set to really get the anchor in deep -- running in reverse at low throttle (1000rpm) a couple of minutes. Once I imagined she was buried in as deep as possible I tested it at 2500rpm and called it good. No wind so it wasn't much of a test... she didn't move all night. I had out 7:1 scope but she didn't use any of it. The next night in Blind Bay was similar. I decided rather than mess with a new anchor I'll play with all the variables possible with my Rocna first:  Anchor sail up, running longer at low throttle in reverse, putting down two 10lb kettle balls, opening flaps on winter enclosure to let the wind blow through. When she dragged at Fisherman's Bay in gust of 15-20 I did not have her anchor sail up. I am going to anchor over there again in gusty winds and put down kettle balls and put up her anchor sail. I've pretty much settled on a Fortress if none of these help.

I do have a lot of windage up because of her winter enclosure and she is a light, fat little boat who travels all over the place even with her anchor sail up. In one article I read it said that the width of the boat matters more than her length.

The Ipad app for Navionics is great for watching her track line. It was a distance ruler on it as well. I can run it overnight with no problem before the Ipad  battery dies.

Also I tried a friend's Honda 2000 generator--that was a blast. I could stay at anchor forever with one of those. I put it up on the bow so the exhaust was not pointing at my enclosure's open side.
