On my boat, we sometimes draw straws to see who gets this duty. Except the
diver goes down WITH the anchor. Makes for a hell of a ride to bottom (narc
city), but when the viz is good, the diver can make corrections on the way
down to hit the wreck. Like a smart bomb, only not that smart. We're hoping
to recruit a world class free diver during the next boatlift. He can work
around the house during foul-weather days, but on dive days, he'll get to set
the anchor. - Tony
