The reading says that the rode between two anchors should be at least the length of the boat. However later it says that you let the secondary anchor down to the bottom and then pay out the road until the primary anchor is reached. So does this mean that the rode between the anchors also be at least the depth of the water?

As long as you are moving in reverse when deploying, the anchors will lay along the bottom with a boat length between the anchors.
