Other wise that means we have some really ****ty people out on the lake with us! To do this intentionally not only, means you're a real piece of whale S--t!! They could have put people and vessels at great risk!

As for not noticing the anchors were disconnected until departure, the three boats were tied together. The first boat set his anchors (bow and stern) and the other two boats were tied up to the first and put their bow anchors out as a safety factor.
There was a separate, similar, incident in post #8. That's the third anchor and an additional captain on watch.
The similar incident makes the whole episode even stranger.
