   Hi all, am currently looking for some cheap anchor warp for some buoys and I only know of Nylon rope that won't float (ie any extra line gathering at the surface) and don't know of any cheaper alternatives. Anyone have any suggestions?

Attach a weight to the line at about 10ft below the surface - this will not only keep your bouy pointing skywards, but will also keep any slack line below the surface. If all else fails and it still floats, tie a loop in it and add another (small) weight to ensure it does not
