It makes for a great puppet show, and a surprise for those cynical
Brooklynites who say they've seen everything there is to see. I'm just
surprised he didn't bring up the cement overshoes, too... they were only
a couple of feet away! :)
I had a 75-lb. CQR drag in Charleston during a blow. It snagged on...
ready for this?... another anchor, just lying free on the bottom. A week
after that, I brought up _another_ anchor, also unattached to anything.
If I stayed there long enough, I probably would have had to open a
chandlery. :)
