    To be clear, I have never clicked on a single one of his links...
    Title alone was enough to put hand to face

    The only downside to chain above your anchor is having to tie your slip knot higher for dealing with aggressive swimming dogs. :wink:

    Lots of guys in the younger generation don't use chains. Shoot, in the age of spot lock and power poles, many don't even have anchors. To me, the anchor is an essential safety device on a boat. If the boat loses power, I'd like to decide if I stay in one spot or let the wind and current carry me along.

    My prayers have resulted in my chain-free anchor line to hold just fine.  

    In anchor we trust.

    On a less sarcastic note, if you really want your anchor to hold then don't use a mushroom.

    You know you have to have an anchor for coastguard regs.
