anchoring lately

now that it's summer time we've been anchoring a lot lately. go for a quick sail, come in and relax on the hook. the new stove is awesome, the other day we made breakfast out there bobbing around. here's some pictures of our past adventures. we're on 240ft. of tri-braid line and 30ft. of 3/8" galvanized chain set to a 33 lb. bruce claw. i plan on stepping it up to 100ft. of chain in the near future. also we have a tiny bow roller. i have my eyes set on a nice stainless steel roller/anchor mount so that the anchor is locked up on the bow and ready for drop at any moment.



at the top of the photo there's claire reading her book on splendid isolation. i rowed to the sandbar to take a few photos.

the sandbar was 6 inches deep, warm, and crystal clear.


about to pull it all up. it's not too bad with this tiny roller, but it'll be way better with what i have in mind for the upgrade.
