thanks for the info. i've been wanting to get one these setups for a while now, and think i will this week. what's a good anchor buoy to buy? i've looked at boaters world and west marine and this one looks to be about the right size:

also, one last question i'm not sure i'm understanding the necessity for the loops in the lines. and someone in that other thread mentions clips. i've read it like 3 times, but i must be dense today.
