I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Q: Is this anchor able to go on a 2000 pound boat?
A: No, this anchor is likely too heavy for a 2000 pound boat. It is designed for Jet Skis, Kayaks, Canoes, and Paddle Boards.
Q: Will this hold more than 1 SUP linked together?
A: It depends on the bottom surface. If the bottom allows the anchor to dig in, it will easily hold multiple kayaks.
Q: Would this work for a Jet Ski at the sandbar? Also, how rust-resistant is it in saltwater?
