I have hung up a danforth before but what worked for me was to idle the boat back over the anchor and just past the anchor give it a pull. If that doesn't work continue past the anchor (upwind) tie it off on a big cleat (danger here -you don't want to unseat the cleat) and give it a tug.

After that I would circle the anchor with tension on the line. If that doesn't work I think you have lost it.

You do need the right setup though; anchor, line, chain, shackles, and swivels.
