You manly men wouldn't have any problem at all. You'd grab 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.... DSK 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? That's what Mr Sails does.... |
