Heaving to?

Has anyone practiced heaving to? In either mild seas/wind or heavier conditions? Just looking for thoughts from others about what went well and what could have gone better or what they’d change for the next time?

Surprised this question never got any answers and even more surprised I've never tried heaving to on our 350. :) I used to heave to frequently on one of our other boats when I reefed sails, etc, but have never had to on the 350. I think it's worth a practice some time and suspect you might have to pull some headsail in to get the boat to heave to decently.
