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

Easy - you just a cushion or pfd for flotation.

that 45# CQR, plop in on your hairy chest, and backstroke out a hundred
yards.


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?

You could cut the testosterone here with a knife.

Hmmmm. Not a half-bad idea, that! ;-D

Mine's a 24v windlass, but unfortunately it won't hold all
20 yards of chain.

Only about 18

3rd, you should have jumped in and swam out
with the anchor, dove down and planted it deep so you could kedge
yourself off.

I suppose that's do-able with your little Optimist sailing pram.
