Dragged in my story.
I have another anchor story in my career. Our boat dropped the hook in water deeper than our anchor chain was long. We lost the whole rig. Then we did the same exact thing with our remaining anchor. This was off the island of Crete. Had to go to the nearest Navy yard to get new anchors and chain.
