T&T: Anchor Size Recommendations

[Chuck and Susan]

I can't understand this either. You would need to have a really big ball with
some serious flotation to break and float the anchor and chain. If the line to
the float is short enough to float the anchor and buoyant enough to get it off
the bottom than it would be tough to get the anchor to set so you would need
some way to get the line down to the anchor. Really seems way too complicated
and impractical.  Chuck

How well is that going to work in say 25 feet of water with an all-chain
rode?
