Anchors and their chains

I have always found it hilariously funny that some boaters have a wonderful anchor attached to a beautiful piece of chain, and NOT attached to the boat. It tickles me pink as I picture the scene; a poor distressed boat where the owners think the best thing to do in a moment of crisis is to throw a huge lump of metal over board. That it isn't attached to the boat drums up the most wonderful mental images!

Interestingly, I have never met anyone who doesn't have their anchor attached to a chain, then on to a rope, and tied firmly onto their boat. Or at least, I THOUGHT I hadn't!
