A riser line (44) secured to and extending upwardly from the anchor, and a submerged buoy (46) secured to the end of the riser line from the anchor. The ratio of the net buoyancy of the surface buoy to the buoyancy of the submerged buoy is at least 2 to 1. A buoyant connector line (50) is secured to and extends upwardly from the submerged buoy. A surface buoy (52) is secured to the end of the connector line remote from the submerged buoy, and a hawser (56) is secured to and extends from the surface buoy.
