If so how did it work for you?
We made one attempt at using the anchor ball! As it turned out it failed but I don't blame the ball, EmptyHooks and myself were both pulling in unison on the anchor line and could not free it after the anchor ball attempt. We finally got the bow of the boat pulled down into the water which raised the stern some and that still didn't break the anchor free, so we tied the anchor off on the bow cleat with the boat in that position and I put the boat into reverse and backed down some and it finally broke free. When we got the anchor up to the boat even the stem was covered with mud. It had obviously bit into the bottom so deep that it had also buried the stem to within an inch or so of the chain. So we will give it a whirl again this coming weekend if the weather holds and we can make it out.
