Gary,
The further from home you roam, the more equipment you need on board to take care of the "unexpected" situations you will encounter.
From my big boat experience: on my M15 I carried three anchors; a small Bruce; a small aluminum Danforth; and a small Fortress that I found at a Tag Sale. These covered sand, mud, rocky bottoms, with the Fortress being a storm anchor with lots of chain and a very long rode.
Then you need a fender board. This is just a 2" X 3" about 36" long, longer is better, with a lanyard at each end.
If you try to tie up to a dock with pilings, and with a tide range, the problem is that the boat will move so how do you keep the horizontal fender against the piling? The answer is a fender board. You drop two fenders; adjust their height; and then outboard of the fenders, you hang the fender board. The fender board can rub against barnacles; it's replaceable;, but it protects your hull from damage.
Now you have a 36" long surface that goes up against the piling; the boat can move (waves / power boat wakes / tide) and the M15/M17 is safely moored.
OFF CENTER HARBOR website has a video showing you a neat way to rig your anchors, one in deep water the other at the beach, so that you can get ashore, but then pull a line that moves the boat out to deeper water for safety overnight. The retrieve line is at the beach, or on board, so in the morning you pull on the line and the boat comes ashore so that you can board, or go ashore again.
Happy sailing,
Connie

And we're going to have a fishing contest, and if successful, eat some fish. Dynamite is not allowed unless you bring a chainsaw to get the fish out of the trees.
Be good to see you there, Phil.

Hi Gary,
Not involved with the Leukemia Cup Debacle? So, sailing for fun instead? Sounds Good, maybe the Long Steps will be ready!
