Hal,

Did you consider hanging a stobe at the anchor line?  I know that
often this is not a real assist, but if the achor line was really
as close as you said, it should have been visible from some point
on the wreck.

The best choice, obviously, is to run that reel from the anchor line
to the wreck, and then put your stobe on the reel where it is fastened
onto the wreck.

Did you and your partner have liftbags, and reels so that a free floating
would have been an option???

On decom dives, you're right, diving thirds is not just for cave and
penetration dives.  Remember that a decom dive has a physiologic overhead,
very similiar to the solid overhead seen in caves and in wreck penetrations.
Reserving 2/3rds of your gas for the return trip (in decom diving, this
return trip includes your decom obligation) and emergencies is nothing
but good sense.
