Yes, we see all the anchor posts - - - but just for the record I have twice had to dive on a Danforth anchor and dig it out of the sea bed as that was the only way to recover it following a blow. I have also seen an anchor chain that was broken with a boat at one end and a buried Danforth at the other - mud bottom, anchor never found. Boat had been left for the winter so owner did not know what had happened but it was still safe as the second anchor was one of the much maligned CQRs.
