		Looking for advice on stowing my anchor ropes.  I use a 150' 3/8 inch anchor rope and also a shorter one.  I have struggled finding the best way to stow the rope when I am not using the anchor.  I have used a plastic device designed to wrap electrical extension cords on, but it isn't quite large enough to handle the entire length of the anchor rope.  What does everyone else use?

		I started using those nylon mesh bags for my anchor 'lines' and seem to work pretty good.  Not too much untangling to do.  I have several smaller mesh bags that I use for my dock lines.  One advantage for the mesh bags is that they allow the lines to dry faster.  I don't have as much line as you do, so you'll probably a bigger bag.  I got mine from Sportsmans in the camping section.

		As I pull up my anchor I put the rope (not very carefullly) in a 5 gal bucket.  It spools out easily and doesn't tangle.  When I'm back a the ramp I'll store the rope under my front deck area and remove the bucket.  Works for me.
