No.. that's not a big issue. If it happens you can still find the chain by
the floating line remaining. Our tides are 7 feet.
In ice... long lines and buoys get dragged and ripped. Short lines and small
blocks of wood.

Plus I can always dive it for Tomek next spring for a bottle of air and a
bottle of rum. ;-)

| | |
| | | Or I might get a smaller ball so it is below the ice...
| | |
| | | Any radical/new ways of doing this?
