ABSTRACT:
A pliant anchoring device (10) includes a pliant anchor (12) having a pliant pouch (14) and a pliant extension (16), a first rope (24) that is attached to a first attaching point (18), and a second rope (26) that is attached to a second attaching point (28). In use, disposable ballast (40) is placed in the anchor (12), and the anchor (12) is secured to a boat and lowered to the bottom (50) of a body of water. To retrieve the anchor (12), a tension force is put on the second rope (26) thereby repositioning the anchor (12) from a ballast-retaining position (54) to a ballast-dumping position (56), the ballast (40) is dumped from the anchor (12), and the anchor (12) is retrieved from the body of water.
