How I hate the anchor trip line

[MJWB]

So i've gone for floating 8mm rope that is rated to excess of the anchor in line with a D/E variation. I bought 6m and then spliced both ends. The large spliced end will be looped through the head of the anchor (mine has a small bar); chose this to avoid a shackle that i'd no doubt drop the pin overboard when attaching! The small spliced end with the SS carabiner will clip to anchor chain as its fed out. The small rope (im going to modify further) will be tied to a cleat as a safety anti-drop measure whilst the carabiner is attached to the chain. Im hoping this will make the whole process easy when i need to deploy.

Can I please ask what rope you used? Although it will be fully submerged I assume the logic is that the floating rope will stay clear of the sea bed?
May I also please ask what put you off putting floats in?

Not sure od name other than floating rope, bought from Jimmy Green
Your logic is how my mind worked.
Only the hassle and storing the floats given the line would try ans rise anyway
