...swam out with the anchor...?

Easy - you just a cushion or pfd for flotation.

Oh sure, the anchor itself is no problem. It's the 20 yards of chain
that's the problem... stuff keeps getting tangled in your legs as you're
swimming....

Have you tried organising it around the...Samson post?


I hate it when all my chest hair get caught up in the anchor chain. That's
why I carry the chain in my teeth and the anchor in one hand when I swim
out to set it. To make sure I don't expend any unecessary effort trying to
stay down while setting the anchor I wear 85lbs of diver's weights. I
don't understand why any manly man would use an anchor to kedge the boat
when its aground. Why not just swim under the boat and lift it up and push
it out?


Gotta get the little woman to carry the anchor and chain... come on, get
with the program....

"little woman"? oh man...you have sunk lower than low...
