In Hawaii I would often free dive ride it down to set the anchor before letting the snorkelers off the boat. Had to retrieve it too. Minimized damage to the reef.

In other areas it was a less delicate situation and we would set it and get it back with the boat engines. I used to love being on the bow of the boat directing the capt and yanking that up. Some anchors were most foul. I never lost one though.

Re Killick:

Interesting. I always just thought it was the character’s name in Master and Commander. Thank you.
