If you are in a tidal area it is just easier to put a frame on a 12' rowboat and crank it down at low tide. As the tide comes it it should pull the morings out. Make sure that you have equal pull on both sides of the boat so it doesn't flip. You can speed it up some by jetting the mud off of the top of the anchor.

But whatever you do make sure that you keep to the side of the moring as you put any lift on it especialy a bag tied in down low to the bottom. When the suction breaks the anchor is headed up real fast and can break your jaw if you are in the way.
