You are coming to anchor in 8 fathoms of water. In this case, how should the anchor be deployed?
The anchor should be lowered to within 2 fathoms of the bottom before being dropped
The scope should be less than 3 times the depth of the water
The anchor may be dropped from the hawsepipe
The anchor should be lowered to the bottom then the ship backed and the remainder of the cable veered
