It's always a good idea to stick your head into the chain locker and check out your ground tackle, especially after you've anchored Serenity Now over 260 times in the past 17 years. I've been keeping my eye on our anchor shackle and finally, it was time to replace it.
Time to replace.
The old and the new.
All ready for the next anchorage. Let's go sailing!

Lost my anchor a few years back due to a broken shackle. Had to free dive 60 feet to retrieve it. Got it back. I rock.
Serenity NOW is a 2000 Catalina 36 MK-II designed for coastal cruising. She's berthed in Dana Point, CA and since 2003 has made over 130 passages to Catalina Island, with overnight visits to five of the eight California Channel Islands: Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, Anacapa, San Clemente and Catalina. We've overnighted at Isla de Cedros off Baja and have explored the coast from Santa Barbara to the East Cape of Baja Sur, Mexico. She has weighed anchor in excess of 285 times. We've put thousands of miles under her keel. She's an ocean-going maritime mobile home and we love her!
