Buoy to mark anchor location

[Mastercraft]

What is a recommendation for buoy to mark anchor location? Is this a benefit when solo anchoring? Are there any tips for using buoy?

I carry a setup to be able to do that. I only use it in anchorages that are tight, like I find in Desolation Sound area, since it gives boats coming in after me a clue on where I set my anchor. It adds more complications so I would not use it anchoring solo. If it is just about my knowing where the anchor is I use Anchor Pro to mark the location.

Surprisingly we have never had the problem of someone dropping their anchor on top of ours. On the contrary, and much to our amusement, most people seem to think you drop your anchor straight down at the location you want your bow to be at.
