When you are anchoring in tidal currents that typically run (in this area, they're stronger farther north) up to four or five knots depending on where you are, there is generally no "letting the Bruce settle in on its own" unless you want to use power to counter the current for however long it's going to take for the anchor to settle in on its own.
Fair enough - I don't find myself dropping the hook in more than about 2 kt of current. Everyone has their own approach that works and we all have a hard time believing that some else's approach works at all let alone could be better
