before the pulpit i had a rope on the front eye all the time that could reach the side of the boat. I would throw the anchor off the side of the boat and when it got caught i would hook it to the bow rope, leaving enough so that the bow rope was always in the boat.
now when having to pull the anchor i just grab the bow rope pull it in to the side of boat and retrive it that way, never going to the bow.
