Free anchor

The only problem is that it's on the bottom of the lake. So if you're a bored diver, it's in twenty feet of water in the little cove southeast of Worcester Island. It is a 9lb fluke with about 5 feet of galvanized chain, two shackels and a short length of line.

I knew it set a little too good when we arrived. When we tried to leave it wasn't coming out.

Anyone try the trick where you connect the chain solidly to the crown and then tie-wrap it to the shank? The idea being that if stuck the tie-wrap with break and the anchor will pull out crown first. How about the anchors with the sliding rings, do those work?
