Backwards, I've never seen an anchor so stuck it couldn't be freed using this method..an anchor ball and haul ring takes the danger out of anchor retrieval, even in a small boat.

Anchor ball is very good idea/solution, one I have never carried, though. We don't have ripping currents like Quick's Hole, locally
