Re: Stus-List OMG! We're dragging!
I had a quick look at some of the anchor dragging apps mentioned here and the “Anchor Alarm” does exactly the same thing as any of the Garmin anchor alarms – sounds an alarm if you move more than X from the current position (at the time of setting the alarm). However, the Drag Queen can do the same, but additionally, you can provide (manually) the initial position. This is not yet what Bill wanted (set a point on the map and draw a circle), but functionally, provides the same result (with a bit more complicated user interface). A warning, though: the Drag Queen use a lot of GPS cycles (in “high battery usage” mode); this may mean that you better have your smartphone connected to a charger or at least fully charged, before going to sleep. There is no easy way of telling (at least with the tools I have) how long would the battery last. But this depends heavily on the way how the application was written (my experience with tracking apps (recording a track) shows that two apps doing exactly the same (logging waypoints in a 10 s interval) can discharge battery at a very different rate (one lasting 8-10 h, the other just under half of that). Anchor Watch (free with ads or $4) is even more interesting, allowing to set the anchor position by bearing and distance (chain length + water depth) from the current boat position and to set the “drift radius” by sector (longer in some directions and shorter in others). Anyone willing to do the field test?

Dennis, Enjoyed your humor, although I am sure there was nothing funny in your mind when you were awaken. First time I set my anchor alarm, I allowed for 10 feet of drag. During the night there was a slight wind change, no drag but Finesse did swing. LIke you it got me up in a hurry.

Re: Stus-List OMG! We're dragging!
I've often wished for an anchor alarm app for my smart phone or GPS chartplotter that would work like the range alarm on my RADAR where you set a ring of a particular range, rather than just a directional distance, and if you moved outside of that circle, the alarm would sound. Seems to me that GPS makers have missed the boat on what would be a really great feature to use as a sales pitch.

Re: Stus-List OMG! We're dragging!
I have several Garmins of various ages, including a GPSMAP76s, a GPSMAP 276c and a GPSMAP 541. I'll have to take another look at them. I want the circle drawn around where the anchor is located, not around the boat's present position when I set the alarm. This would be done while looking at the chart, so you could start at the anchor location and drag out a perimeter from there that is just a bit more than your scope, to allow for tide changes. I didn't see a way to accomplish that with any of the units I have, but perhaps I missed something. I'll look again.

Re: Stus-List OMG! We're dragging!
Not sure about the details of operation. If you can't choose the center of the radius on the display you might need to put the boat close to the anchor and then set the alarm. I only used mine a few times. The radius if I remember correctly was set as a distance from the starting point, not dragged on the screen but again, I am just not sure.

Re: Stus-List OMG! We're dragging!
Bill, You are right. The circle is drawn from your current position at a selectable (settable) radius. I don’t know of any way to move the centre of that circle (to where you want it to be). The only option I can imagine at this moment is to move the boat to the anchor and set the alarm there. Of course, it makes little sense. However, if you are prepared for that operation ahead of the time, you can set the alarm, when you are dropping the anchor. It should be a simple operation of pressing a key or two. Even if the boat is moving slowly, a few metres this or that way should not matter (unless your anchorage is that tight).

Re: Stus-List OMG! We're dragging!
Thanks, Marek. I'm pretty busy during anchoring, since I'm often by myself. I usually just hit the MOB key when the anchor gets dropped, and after I am sure I am firmly set, I make a waypoint where the MOB position is and delete the MOB. I then simply "navigate to waypoint" which gives me a running graphical and numerical account of the distance from that waypoint. The boat slowly paints a smile on the chart as it swings back and forth. I can tell at a glance if the smile starts getting fat it means the boat is getting further from the mark. It also shows me if the boat has swung around to a new direction. No alarm, though. Seems to me it shouldn't be that hard to add an alarm feature tied to the waypoint that would mark a circle on the chart that could be made any size you wish. THAT is what I feel would be a very effective selling feature. Looks like I may be able to find an app for my android smartphone that will do this. I'd really prefer to have it in my dedicated chartplotter which doesn't get moved around on board, or carried to shore.

Re: Stus-List OMG! We're dragging!
I don't have an alarm, but have had good results using my Garmin 640 GPS plotter when anchoring. I simply make a waypoint after the boat settles down. The 640 can be brought into the cabin, making it easy to check the boat's location and distance to waypoint after dinner or before bed to see if we've moved.

Re: Stus-List OMG! We're dragging!
Tim, There’s an app called “Drag Queen” that does a pretty good job of keeping track of your anchoring location. Set it up when you drop the hook and it will keep track of your distance from the anchor and let you know if you drag.

Re: Stus-List OMG! We're dragging!
Reminds me when I anchored one summer evening behind Charles Island, Connecticut side of Long Island Sound and in the morning I was awakened by men's voices talking and laughing like they were right next to my boat. I thought we dragged anchor! I lept on deck and checked my bearings to find we were on station. I rechecked the charts and saw an ismuth that ran from the mainland to the island at about 2 to 3 feet depth. Dawn revealed there were about a dozen fishermen standing knee to waist deep on the sandbar, fishing about 50 feet from my boat. Weird.

Re: Stus-List OMG! We're dragging!
Many years ago I had a new autopilot and was cruising parallel to Northport beach. Looked around, all clear and I went below to make coffee. Several minutes later I heard the autopilot engage and it made a 90 degree turn directly toward the beach! Of course this was a Sunday so tech support was unavailable. Monday I called tech support and was told not to use the autopilot closer than 2 miles from shore because garage door openers can cause it to change course!! I didn't get a beep, beep, beep, wish I had.Michael CottonS/V M'aislingNAS Pax River marina, Md On Tuesday, December 2, 2014 7:07 PM, Chuck S via CnC-List cnc-list@cnc-list.com wrote: Reminds me when I anchored one summer evening behind Charles Island, Connecticut side of Long Island Sound and in the morning I was awakened by men's voices talking and laughing like they were right next to my boat.
