[Rhodes22-list] Anchoring -- Phuzzy Physics

[Bill Effros]

All metal anchors sink.  No metal anchor requires "helper metal" in the 
form of chain to drag it down to the bottom.  Anyone who seriously 
doubts this should try this little experiment:  Remove your anchor from 
your chain rode, and throw the anchor overboard.  If it floats, be sure 
to take a picture--there could be a Nobel Prize in your future.
