Anybody using a box anchor?

I think we were in clean sand for the most part, no problem with
retrieval fortunately, and the anchor was coming up with no mud on it.

I know guys who have their anchors rigged with a breakaway connection
in the eye and a hard connection behind the flukes so you can puill it
out backward. I have found anchors diving that were obviously cut off
because the skipper couldn't break them free.

That would make an interesting collection. I've seen anchors on the
bow of some boats that were so bent up that you know they must have
become badly caught up in something.
