Collecting boulders for landscaping! Actually, this situation was quite challenging for a newbie.The darn thing fit in there nicely and would barely budge. Looked like a baseball glove with an oversized ball in it. And it was bigger and heavier than it looks in the picture (55kg anchor). Tried and tried to get it out with a boat hook and used various other methods, but no luck.
Finally, after an hour and a half, a light bulb went off in my head and I attached a trip line. Let out some chain and kerplunk!
I realize that many of you have seen this before, but not me. I read quite a bit about boating and I hadn't read about it before either, so I thought about the ones that haven't encountered this and thought it might help someone at some point.
And, no kidding, all the time I was struggling with this, I kept thinking about Marin and his dislike for Bruce anchors. One more reason Marin!
