This is a video detailing the procedure to drop anchor. Its detailed with emphasis given to major components of windlass and associated anchor terms.

We had anchored in a current of 3-4 knots, and since the process was done at night, there is an appreciable quality issue wrt chain leading.

I will explain the chain leading and reporting in a later video.

Hope you will find this video useful for your future career.
