      The main idea here is to remove the load on the anchor. What I do is to pass a line from a bow cleat through the fouling stuff and back up to the deck cleat

      Yes, I would have, but the durn thing was snarled up in the cable...don't ask me how it managed that! I think the cable was slack until that old minesweeper somehow tensioned it and that made it 'grab' my anchor. In addition to all this, I had dropped a spare anchor so if I had to throw that one off, I could, and I managed to get it fouled in the prop...had to dive in 3 kt currents...it was a good test of the high tech 'swim fins', but was part of the reason I was sore for three weeks. -Ken
