Wednesday Knot: Anchor Bend

From the name of this knot you might expect its use-to secure an anchor to the end of line.  This is perfect for use with wet and slipper lines and as such is a secure hitch perfect for small anchors.  The name is a bit of misnomer as the anchor bend is actually a hitch (a line is “made fast” to an object with hitch knots) and not a bend (a knot used to bind to lines together).
