Talking of anchroing in deep water, there is such a thing as a sea
anchor. It's like a parachute for water.

I was just wondering, from reading Bobsprit's posts on mooring his wife's
sailboat to cook dinner; how you would anchor or moor your sailboat in the
Marianas Trench? That would take over ~36,000 feet of chain. Where would
you store that much chain along with the anchor? I'm worried that if
Bobsprit didn't have enough chain to anchor, he might starve to death.
Heheheee.
