This looks right to me, but maybe it needs a little more scope?
Its funny Friday!

I'm not sure a Danforth style anchor is the best choice for this application. The image indicates a fisherman but I would be tempted to go with a Manson or Rocna with high tip loading for the hard surface

Here's one for @rgranger.
Boudreaux comes home from work and his wife Clotile meets him at the door.
Clotile declares, "You need to do sumtin' 'bout mais car, Boudeaux. It got water in de carburetor."
"How you know der's water in de carburetor, you?" Boudeaux asks.
Clotile replies with absolute certainty, "Cause it's parked in da bayou."

(I tried to convert the joke to a sailboat related one, but it didn't have the same impact).

This one really made me laugh. Stolen from the New Joke thread over on the Cruiser's Forum
Mule Raffle
Boudreaux & Thibodeaux saw an ad in the Starkville Daily in Pearl River, LA. and bought a mule for $100.
The farmer agreed to deliver the mule the next day.
The next morning the farmer drove up and said,"Sorry, fellows, I have some bad news, the mule died last night."
Boudreaux & Thibodeaux replied,"Well, then just give us our money back."
The farmer said,"Can't do that. I went and spent it already."
They said, "OK then, just bring us the dead mule."
The farmer asked, "What in the world ya'll gonna do with a dead mule?"
Boudreaux said, "We gonna raffle him off."
The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead mule!"
Thibodeaux said, "We shore can! Heck, we don't hafta tell nobody he's dead!"
A couple of weeks later, the farmer ran into Boudreaux & Thibodeaux at the Piggly Wiggly grocery store and asked.
"What'd you fellers ever do with that dead mule?"
They said,"We raffled him off like we said we wuz gonna do."
Thibodeaux said,"Shucks, we sold 500 tickets fer two dollars apiece and made a profit of $998."
The farmer said,"My Lord, didn't anyone complain?"
Boudreaux said, "Well, the feller who won got upset. So we gave him his two dollars back."
Boudreaux and Thibodeaux now work for the government.
They're overseeing the Bailout & Stimulus Programs.

Well, I waited and hoped Santa would bring me the new VHF Radio, I really really wanted but that didn’t happen. So I’m off to the New England Boat Show. Now I’m looking for a Boat Show Special.
I hope this doesn’t happen……….

Being a native south Louisianian, I love Boudreaux and Thibodeaux humor. Brings back fond memories of my Annapolis sailing buddy who'd gotten addicted to that humor while living in Houston. He and I both loved the 2 AM to 6 AM watch when we sailed his Tartan 37 over the years.. Lost him several years ago to glioblastoma..
Boudreaux was sitting on the bayou bank when a rude guy on horseback rode up all in a rush and asked Boudreaux if he could cross the bayou on horseback there. Boudreaux said "Mais yeah" . The man spurred the horse into the bayou and was immediately over his head.. He swam back to the bank and angrily accosted Boo... "I thought you said that the water was shallow there!" Boo said "Mais I jus saw a duck walk right across and his legs don't be but dat long (making a gesture with thumb and forefinger)"
