Self Rescue-Swim the Anchor

Someones going to get wet

Use a set a couple of PFDs to float the anchor and swim it out to where you can kedge yourself off using the winches works great.

You can also use the same technique to heel yourself over and get free. As mentioned earlier this does not work well for a winged keel.
