The side view shows the rode catenary and the angle of pull at the anchor. Orbit overhead and the same rode becomes your swing circle over the depth contours. Each New anchorage rolls a fresh cove, bay, narrow inlet, mountain fjord or Bahamian cay. High land throws a long wind shadow to leeward, while open water builds a swell that grows with the wind — watch which shore lies under your lee.
