I guess John thought that it would tie itself to the cleat
Even better... the first time I anchored, I dropped the anchor in about 30' of water and watched the rope slide right over the side... forgot to tie it off. Luckily I had a second anchor, tied it off first and dropped it off the side. About 2 hours later as I pulled up the anchor, I said to myself "this thing is heavy"... walla there was my first anchor hooked to the second one !! Talk about luck.
