I started tubing on lakes years ago and agree I never really needed or wanted an anchor. But what I hated when I started tubing in the ocean is when I found a spot where the fish were hitting and could stay put because the tide pushed me away! [unsure]
It's really a user preference and alot of trial and error. I have an 18' Sea Ray 180 and I lost my anchor in the rocks awhile back so I know exactley what you mean [cool]
That image of that tuber being sucked out to sea awhile back still bothers me. It was really gusting and conditions outside bay were ruff. He had no anchor and obviously didn't pay attention to the tides so he could of ended up in real trouble.
Oh well. Life goes on [pirate]
