Didn't Goblin lose anchor and chain at the start of WD?
This was when John failed to allow for the rising tide and was unable to run out of chain from the locker via the winch.
Thereafter Goblin had a warp and kedge.
Presumably there was no time for Goblin's anchor and chain to be recovered between the start of SW and end of WD.
Others have postulated that it would be a good exercise for the cadets at RN Shotley to try and recover the lost anchor
