The posts are all good advice.

I never heard of the one where you drill a hole in the heel though. (interesting idea).

Anyway they also sell release anchors, they are danforth style, but have a large steel band (elongated ring kinda) instead of a standard shank, so the shackle will just slide to the heel of the anchor when you drive around the other side of it. I had one for years, and its still around, (sold it with my old boat).

Seeing how you now have to buy a new anchor anyway, look into it. I'm not sure where I got it, but i could find out if you need.

Good Luck.
