After the IODA Championships I sailed with my family on a 39ft sailing yacht from Langkawi to Phuket. I was a competent crew and had two important tasks :
- Sail Trimmer
- Mooring duties
- Sail Trimming:
I saw how the tale tails were and adjust if they were not right, pulled in the main sheet/ let out the sail and trimed the sail according to the weather conditions.
- Mooring duties:
I had to find a good spot to anchor, see if there are lines floating in the water, see if there are any mooring buoys, let out the anchor/ bring in the anchor, make sure not to drop the anchor on coral but sand and see if the anchor bit.

That is good, looking for a sandy spot for the anchor. It would probably hold better, and not break up the underwater environment.
By the way, did you have a power driven anchor, or did you have to raise it with muscle power?
