cgcooke is on a distinguished road
Sailing at anchor

Depends -
1) do you have a sail up?
- let the mainsheet go
sail will flap - you''ll go nowhere

2) No Sail up -
boat just "waving" 30 deg. back and forth

Not much you can do - if anchored from bow
Try anchoring with a bridle from the stern
This should keep her straight.
