How and when did you clean your Anchor rope, Try this.

I will add one more trick that we used to do to keep them suptle. Soak them in a bucket of water with a cap or two of fabric softner. I also did this with my cast net to keep it loose. It works great,
Good idea I'll give that a try although it's very supple already but it won't hurt, thanks for that.
 
Just soak it over night or so, I use to let my stuff soak for 12 - 24 hours, then pull it out and hang it to dry. Keeps them nice and flexible. This trick will even make new stiff lines more flexible.
 
On a semi related note, I was wondering how these guys (running a parasailing business in Cabo) maintain their lines, if at all. That's my wife and kid on the end of this one.
