We used to do the same thing back in the late 50's and early 60's, especially around the Witches. Always had a pry bar in the boat, find the anchors, take them back into Glendale, clean them up, and sell 'em. (Yeah Mee-n-Mac...the horse boats did have anchors, but we catered to the "speed boats"...the little horse boats powered by twin Shetland Ponies!!!! )
