Peter, you missed a golden opportunity. You had a chance to test the idea of a pennant with two 6 packs. First ask the diver to tie on onto the stuck anchor and see if you can get it out.My takeaway is the type of anchor mattered less than the fact I did not drop an anchor pennent from the eye on the forward shank. Would have been invaluable had I not been rescued by the food hearted fellow cruiser.

I have wondered about this, never done it, but what size rope must be tied on that will not break if the chain with chain circled around could not dislodge the anchor. Anyone retrieve an anchor with a pennant? Theory sounds good. I used to think a pennant was to mark the spot for the return visit with a diver.
