Stupid question: Do you attach the rope to the chain and the chain to the
anchor OR attach both the rope and chain to the anchor, ie, chain is not
attached to rope?


Not a stupid question at all. Attach the chain to the anchor, the rope to
the chain. Bingo, now you're in business.

The other question is HOW to attach the rope to the chain and the chain
to the anchor...just tying it on is not the recommended method.

Splice a thimble into end of the rope (or, if you don't know how and
don't want to learn how, you can buy anchor line with a thimble already
spliced into one end)...use shackles to attach the chain to the rope
and to the anchor.
