I see a bunch of pics from folks out in that general area who anchor the same way as in the pic. In that pic, it looks like both bow and stern are headed towards the beach. How do you keep yourself OFF of the beach? Why do you anchor stern out?

Shrew
In that pic, the water is roughly waist high at the transom. We always anchor bow into shore, run the anchor out, then stake 2 ropes at 45deg. angles off the stearn.
Lake Powell is famous for it's slickrock formations, it generally makes poor anchorage. It's also famous for sudden storms and winds in excess of 70mph.
By anchoring to shore in this fashion, we have survived 70+mph winds, 2 years ago on Memorial day, I had to run 4 ropes off the stearn as I feared the 2 would not hold.
On that weekend 7 boats sank. So, yes, this is the way we generally spend the nights, it does cause minor rash on the underside but it's minimal as we select very sandy beeches to camp.
Being able to sleep through said winds is indeed priceless.

Just returned from 6 days on Powell.


I was there this year in May when we had 60mph winds with 90mph gust.... not pretty. We stayed 2 nights in the marina to give the front time to pass and then went up lake.
