I think the use of a snubber is a small part of the problem here. First, he never should have anchored near the path of a high-speed ferry. Second, he should have tied the end of his anchor chain to the boat so it couldn’t have gotten loose overboard. I have never used a snubber on my anchor chain and I don’t think it would have made much of a difference in this case. That’s just my opinion...
