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...

A fender works well also.

Nothing worse than a winter swim with a 25 lb danforth to kedge
off...except calling towthiefsUSA and getting a bill that you wonder if
vasaline is included,

The bright side is you might discover an oyster reef, and instill some
level of self reliance and competence to your crew.

You could cut the testosterone here with a knife.

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

Your sense of humor is outstanding. Are you left handed?

Strangely enough, I have a photo around here somewhere of a friend
doing almost exactly that...
