I've Danforths for over 30 yrs on the bay. With 20 ft of chain and half inch nylon rode, I have never had a problem setting a Danforth or having it break free in the middle of the night. Danforths and the infamous Bay mud just seem to like each other. I would not use a Danforth, however, in the few places on the bay that have grass bottoms. A plow or CQR would be a better choice in those rare instances. A number of my friends carry both of these anchors for this reason, but I think a Danforth is the best all around anchor for the bay.
