And it's not even a real CQR, it's a cheapo plough (look at where the crossbar is)

Re: scary anchor pics

Come on, thats all you got?
Didnt back down!
Difficult substrate!
Too big an anchor!
Actually, that is an original CQR. Came with Nicks 2/46. He sent it out for galvy. It came back new but deep pitting on the underside of fluke near the toe, almost thru. He didnt see them when he sent and sandbasting opened them up. Thats when he started looking for anchors and found the EXCEL. Rex flew it to him..
