That said, who wouldn't want a woman to check the anchor? Just can't take her out to dance!

How could you not step on those feet???????????????????????????

Who needs fins?

Is she wearing fins?

Kevin Costner wants to know.

Feet? What feet?

I am afraid I don't have the heart to kill them, despite occasionally eating their brothers and sisters at restaurants. What a woos

Under engine power alone my Rocna normally at least completely buries the fluke which makes my anchor immune. My current anchorage has very hard sand so the anchor has set with the fluke only just covered and some enterprising octopus decided a few of days ago that he could dig out the sand under the fluke and make a nice home.

Each day a bit more sand is dug out from under the anchor and there is steady accumulation of pippi shells that have been eaten and discarded and small stones that are obviously important for the best octopus homes.

The anchor is in 8m (26 feet) of water so pictures from the surface did not show much detail, but a friend has sailed into the anchorage and lent me his Hero 3. Great camera. Must get an underwater camera at some stage.

To give an idea of scale its a 120lb Rocna.

Wonderful post Noelex. Thank you.
