A 65-lb CQR anchor lost when the C&C Yachts 39 *Epiphany* beached during a hurricane is recovered by snorkeling in clear, shallow water off Big Mike's beach in the Bahamas. Gordon and the skipper locate the first anchor using GPS coordinates saved before the storm; the broken chain link is visible on the bottom before they dive to retrieve it.0:48 The anchor carries a swivel, which rules out chain twist as the cause of the break.1:24 A second anchor, fitted with a line for visibility, proves harder to find: after 30 minutes of searching with a viewing bucket — a bucket with a clear plastic bottom used like a snorkel mask — fading light forces the crew to abandon the search and return the next day.1:49 The recovery confirms that saving GPS coordinates of deployed anchors before a storm gives a reliable starting point for post-storm retrieval in clear-water anchorages.
