I never Anchor!! I can't rember when the last time I did??
But if I have to, what I do is throw the thing over the side, get it caught, then I hook it to my bow rope and let it go. Leaving the extra rope in the cockpit with me.
When its time to pull the anchor I yank it till I get the bow rope, undo it and pull the anchor right into the cockpit with me.
might just have to use the anchor next week Cod fishing?? Wow that will be different.
