I thought it would obvious to anyone following this discussion that one
end of the chain attaches to the rope, the other end of the chain to the
anchor. Apparently I was wrong...

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.

Yes, you were ............... things can only be obvious if you have
some experience in the area of the obvious. Now that it was explained
to him it is probable "now" obvious..........
