New anchor chain

 Robinetta spent 6 weeks in Arbroath. We visited her twice in that time. The first just to look around the towns and meet up with friends, but the second time we brought along 60 metres of 8mm galvanised chain to replace our old anchor chain which was very rusty in places. The old chain was made up of 3 pieces, shackled together. Julian had to use a hacksaw to cut through the shackle holding the old chain to the anchor as it was rusted solid. We bought a wheelbarrow to move the chain from the car to the boat as we could not find any marina trolleys.

I now need to think about replacing the kedge anchor. We have only used it a couple of times, and it could well be rusted solid. I must check!
