As to my suggestion... planning in advance, attach a send line

Usually called a trip line.

Ok a trip line. Add a pulley and a line that is long enough.

Add a pulley, aka, block where ?



Here you go... obviously this is not to scale, but I think you'll get the
idea. More than one fender could be lowered, and in the drawing, the
anchor marker is already on board.

All you have to do is to have the marker attached to a line that already
goes through a block at the anchor. You could even leave it as a light
line, then if there's a problem, tie a heavier line to the lighter line
and pull it through to the point where you could attach a fender.

Another option (not sure if it's really workable) would be to have a CO2
cartridge ready at the anchor... you pull the float line, and pop! My
inflatable vest claims 36 lbs. of lift... something like that..., but I
still think the multiple fender option would work better.


All you have to do is figger a way to keep the anchor from spinnin on the
way down, for obvious reasons,


Spinning?? What's that got to do with retrieval? The fender wouldn't be
attached until you need it. Are you stupid or what.
