A device (6) for monitoring an anchor (4) for a water vessel is disclosed. The device comprises an accelerometer (32) for measuring acceleration of the device to yield acceleration data, means (38) for processing the acceleration data to yield roll angle data, means (34) for processing the acceleration data to yield velocity data, and means (52, 54) for transmitting the roll angle data and the velocity data from the device to a receiver unit (13) for use with the water vessel. This may allow the setting of the anchor and its reliability to be monitored in an efficient and cost-effective way. A corresponding receiver unit is also disclosed, along with techniques for transmitting the data through a rode.
