You should drop the anchor at the bow of the boat, which is the front section. This positioning helps to ensure that the boat faces into the wind and current, reducing the chance of drifting. It's important to drop the anchor in a spot with good holding ground, such as sand or mud, to prevent it from dragging. Always ensure that the anchor is securely set before leaving it unattended.
When you drop anchor, your boat should be moving (drifting perhaps).
