Our new anchor setup on the bow is going to make life much easier. Our new Rocna anchor is sitting on a bow roller ready to deploy into the murky muddy abyss. The temporary hawse pipe (thru deck fitting that the line comes through) is too small to pass the shackle and eye splice. [Mike didn't order one in time and had to scrounge this one. Sigh, Frustration . . ] So the chain is sitting on deck on a rubber pad. The arrangement is a little tight in that the anchor is very close to the roller furling. We have to tie the anchor to the side to keep it away from the furler. Hopefully we will test it later today and report on the success of the arrangement.
