good bottom to set anchor Explanation: I believe "set" is the correct nautical term here, to describe the anchor taking hold after being dropped. However I can't decide whether I prefer "to set" or "for setting" in this phrase. I would also use "bottom" because it might not be the seabed (you might be sailing in a lake!) |
