Tina, that's an easy one!  Just tie off the rope and chain to something
strong like a tree trunk (so that you don't lose it while waiting, of
course)... wait for the boater to buzz by at full throttle... then just
kindly toss the anchor into the back of his boat with a polite smile and a
hand wave.  :-)

My in-laws spent the weekend on their boat at "Harbor Fest" one year. My
father-in-law "told" (not asked) my poor mother-in-law to toss the anchor
over, which she promptly did.  Now... whose fault do you think "he" thought
it was when anchor, chain, and rope went overboard and out of sight, and he
realized he had never re-tied the anchor rope to the boat????? HER's, of
course.... couldn't have happened to a nicer guy, but I hated to see poor
"mom" get verbal abuse for his mistake.  I almost peed my pants trying not
to laugh out loud!!!!!!!
