RODE MAINTENANCE 101

When cleaning the anchor rode recently I noticed the splice between the nylon line and the anchor chain could use some help. The bitter-end was in almost new condition compared to the end that was attached to the chain. After reversing the line and tying a new splice, we're back in business better than ever. Happy anchoring!
