Awthacker, two things you need to do/learn. First, put a lanyard on that anchor pin. Destroyer's First Rule of boating clearly states: If it can fall over the side, it will. (I highly recommend using Berkeley black vinyl covered wire leader. It lasts for years, doesn't rust, looks neat and is a cinch to make up). Second, learn how to make an eye splice on the bitter end of your line. Attach the anchor shackle thru the eye. It makes for a much neater appearance and goes thru the hawse pipe a lot easier. Other than that, really well done job.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
