Well then, my hat is off to you. :-)
I also really like the theory of paying out more or less of the
drogue line depending upon how much you want to slow your progress.

There has been derision about anchoring from the stern without a
solid explanation why. On some boats it is quite successful and much
more comfortable in that it reduces yawing.
