Thats nice but if your useing a Danforth anchor it woun't work.

I admit, cool device.

Ok, probably a dumb question...

Why wouldn't it work with a danforth?

because a danforth anchor has a 50% chance of laying on top of the cable.... would probably still work but not the best setup

Think this is a simpler solution. My neighbor has his rigged like this and it has got him out of a jam a couple of times.

Ah, I see, but wouldn't the little float keep the anchor on the correct side?

eh might influence it... lets guess 40% chance then..... there is also the issue of the cable getting hooked on a fluke and keeping it from digging in tho
