Inspecting the ground tackle


Today we had the fun experience of learning to deal with our heavy ground tackle.  After dropping anchor in the slip, we figured out we better get the anchor free to drop BEFORE final approach.  We stretched the chain across the dock and it looks like we have 400' of 3/8" chain, marked at approx 50' intervals.  Vicki volunteered to help wrestle the chain back aboard, so as I stood on the windlass switch I took some shots of her working it!
