Broken down into ten steps, we have:

1. Find a quiet spot
2. Find a great bottom
3. Communicate quietly
4. Drop smoothly
5. Drop plenty of chain
6. Test well
7. Use a snubber/bridle
8. When to use a Kedge / Secondary Anchor
9. Reduce Anchor Drag & Swing
10. Motor Forward to Lift Anchor

Remember, in tidal areas your anchor ratio can change greatly. So be well aware of your tidal range and high/low times. Tides will be covered in future episodes.
