Marine anchoring apparatus

A marine anchoring apparatus comprising:

• a) a slide hammer tool, said slide hammer tool comprising:
• an elongated stake having a lower end and an upper end, said lower end being sharply pointed and said upper end terminating in a transverse head;
• a lower abutment fixedly mounted on said elongated stake, said lower abutment being spaced from both said upper end and said lower end;
• an upper abutment fixedly mounted on said elongated stake, said upper abutment being located directly adjacent said upper end;
• at least one tie down ring secured to said elongated stake;
• a hammer slidably mounted on said elongated stake and located between said upper abutment and said lower abutment, whereby said hammer is to be repeatedly moved and impacted against said lower abutment to drive said elongated stake into a supporting surface securing such and then permitting securing of a tie down rope to said at least one tie down ring;
• b) at least one finned attachment having a central bore configured to receive the lower end of said elongated stake;
• c) at least one tent stake having an opening in an upper portion thereof, configured to receive said transverse head of said elongated stake, said hammer to be moved against said upper abutment to cause penetration of said tent stake into the supporting surface;
• wherein, the lower end of said elongated stake can be driven into the supporting surface by said repeated impacting;
• and wherein, one of said at least one finned attachment can be received on the lower end of said elongated stake prior to the elongated stake being driven into the supporting surface, thereby permitting the slide hammer tool to be removed while the one of said at least one finned attachment remains in the supporting surface;
• and wherein, the upper end of said elongated stake can receive one of said at least one tent stake and said hammer is impacted against said upper abutment to drive the one of said at least one tent stake into the supporting surface and said hammer is impacted against said lower abutment to remove the one of said at least one tent stake from the supporting surface.
