One day me and my brother were anchored under conimicut pt. the anchor dragged a little, but we don't think much of it. A short while later we try to leave, but the anchor is snagged on something. Tried to unsnag using the motor, but no luck. Together we had to pull like hell, getting only a couple feet per heave...i mean we were actually pulling the stern into the water it's so heavy. On top of that there's a ton of boat traffic going by in the channel.
After a good 15-20 minutes of this we find out the anchor was tangled in a chain of lobster pots. We got one pot over the gunwale, cut the line & sent the rest back to the bottom. Kept the one pot, just because of all the effort we put into it.
Moral of the story is, beware when anchored at conimicut pt!
BTW - the trap must've had 50+ starfish inside it.
