A few days ago in the OOA thread Popeye mentioned finding an anchor and tucking it into his waist band.
Today Shane and I found one I doubt even Popeye could get in his waist band.
We found "The Anchor!"
Scootering down a gulley at 150' we were just about to round a corner and head back north away from the ferry landing overhead. There in the sand was "The Anchor!" complete with about 20' of chain... each link being about 6" long.
We are guessing that "The Anchor!" itself weights ~1000lbs not counting the chain.
Of course we could be off in this estimate... in either direction... so the next step is to go back and take measurements as well as send up a buoy so we can see just how close we are to the ferry lane.
Then we need to figure out just how to *stuff it in our waist band* and swim off with it.
Stay tuned.
