It’s my signature drink, I hate to give it away? But here it goes. Can of lemonade, can of Orange Juice, fifth of Tito’s, 7 cups of water, Stir up and Freeze. Makes a slush, serve it in an insulated cup and top with a little sprite or diet sprite! Boom!
Be prepared for tops to fall off
What about DPs? Does it do that too? That's a thing around here too.
I almost went there. Lol

I ended up going with a Richter anchor. I was thinking about a digger, but found this one first. It is much smaller than it looks; less than 12" in diameter, and maybe 10" tall, but it holds well. I have the 18lb version. I bought this on mainly because it would fit in my anchor locker.
I ordered my 18 lb Richter from wholesalemarine.com so I would have it in time for Memorial Day. I even read them the part/sku
number from their website. Incredibly fast shipping to the lake address. Looked at the invoice and they shipped me the 14 lb one. I got a return authorization and again ordered the 18. Incredibly fast shipping of another 14 pounder! Finally, third times a charm, received the 18. Unfortunately it did not arrive until Tuesday after I had put the boat away so I cannot report on its anchoring abilities yet. It does, however, fit in the 220 S anchor locker unlike my trusty danforth that had served me so well.

3 times a charm. They are normally pretty good I get plenty from them.

Sounds like lemonade and swamp water is going to make for an interesting day out. Probably leave the kids home that day.

Not to derail this but......
I had a digger anchor and like it. Held the boat well in our sand/mud bottom lake. Yesterday I toss it over and while taking up slack line feel the tension let go. So when I bring it back up, all I've got is the loop where the line attacks. The rest of it is sitting in 12ft of water. Apparently there's a nut that holds this in place. And said nut can back off. So if your using a digger I'd check your nut.

That’s a bummer bfun, I know some people that put small PWC fenders on their expensive anchors on long lines so they can retrieve them if they come off the main line, but I boat in 3’ of water so no need for me.
