Today final got round to looking at our anchor chain, boat 10m
Over the last couple of years been given a couple of extra lengths for not a lot of money.
Recently got to see photo of us out at sea and the bow looked a little lower than expected.
When chain removed and laid on pontoon we had about 80 metres of 8mm, think I could have anchored mid Atlantic with that![Grinning face with smiling eyes :smile: 😄](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f604.png)
Chopped of to leave 35m with 10m of rode, think that’s more sensible as we never really anchor in more than 6m water and often less with lifting keel, hopefully the boat will sit a bit better in the water.
Now got to get spare chain out of car boot and get rid of it
