Really? How much does 100' of chain and a big anchor
cost? You're going to leave it? Sounds pretty stupid to
me, but you don't own a boat, right? So, you wouldn't
even have a clue.
Unlike you, I do own a boat - my fourth actually. What
does the cost of the anchor and it's rode have to do with
it? If you can't recover it you don't call AAA and fix
your makeup while you wait for them. It only "sounds"
stupid to you because you _are_ stupid.

Unlike you, I'm not a moron. Looking at the West Marine
website, an anchor for a 40' boat costs about $400 plus
100' of chain at $5/ft is $500. So, that's nearly $1000
you, the moron, is willing to leave on the bottom. I guess
stupid is as stupid does.


So your plan it to dive it and release it by hand? The
loss is a small price to pay.

How about disconnecting the chain, attaching a light line to
it that is long enough to reach the surface, and have a
small float on the end. Then, take your handy, dandy GPS and
mark the spot. Go into a dock, get some help from the
locals, and retrieve your anchor. What's the worst case...
someone steals it? You can't find it again? Nobody is
willing to help?


Sure. That happens everyday.

Why don't you start an anchor retrieval business?

Why don't you get someone else to drive and check the tires
while he backs up..


The liberal admission of defeat. Sorry you gave up so soon.


You're the one who cuts and runs.


No, I choose to not post dumb remarks like yours.

Are you claiming you never said that?? Should we add liar to your
resume?


I never said that in reference to a post and you know it. Try
again, lawyer.

Really? Well, here it is:

I don't think your apology is forthcoming, but one never knows.


Wrong context, dummy.

Nope. Same context. Anchoring. Continue to lie. It really enhances
your stature among men.


Me: The liberal admission of defeat. Sorry you gave up so soon.

You: You're the one who cuts and runs.

Want to try again, liar?
