Re: Mooring chain
Well most people row out to there moorings. But the ones in my cove are all anchored in 2 places, one anchor/mooring in the water and the other about 100ft in on land. Simply stated a robe runs to the mooringand back to the land in a loop, so the boat is attached to the loop and is pulled in and out as needed.
BUT, what I just found out, unilike the mooring I am on were I just attach a clip to the front and let the boat sway with the wind/tide The one I am moving to I need to keep the bow facing the ocean, as a few boats have sunk there because the on a NE wind the stern faces the sea, but the swell rolls in and floods the transom, sinking the boat :o :o :o :o :o
So with a 20' transom I'm not to excited about that ::)
Can you say Bracket Project in my near future ;D
Alright, I need to go buy the chain now, So I'm going to roll the dice and grab 12 ft (this will run from the sea anchor to the rope and marker in 6ft of water)
I'l try and take pics and hold a seminar later ;D
