Anchors away

The internet is such a great tool.  It allows you to do research, find stories, watch videos, and even buy stuff.  So after our researching and talking we took the next step and bought the SARCA Excel anchor.  That is the Sand And Rock Combination Anchor by the way.  The anchor is made in Australia and not many marine stores carry it yet in the USA.  We purchased it from Ground Tackle Marine in Victoria Canada and they shipped it via UPS ground to us.  I am not sure UPS has delivered many 47 lb anchors to Boise.

I told Kris it was her Mother's Day present and placed a big bow on it.  The anchor was wrapped with carpeting and plastic wrap but I "wrapped" it in a black garbage bag as well.  Since Kris was the one that ordered the anchor, it wasn't a big surprise but she still acted happy.  Now we have a 47 lb galvanized anchor in our family room as a conversation piece, and people don't think we are sophisticated.  We are planning on taking a trip back to the boat in September so will take the anchor to its new home then.
