Still toggin'

I understand about donating. I bent the shaft on my anchor the last time out about a week ago. I picked up a new (used) one on craigslist. The new one is one size larger and an authentic danforth. My old one was a hooker or some such danforth copy. Just looking at them side by side the real one is beefier and better made.

I always had problems getting the old one to stick in a strong current. The new one stuck first try Sunday, and the tide was screaming. I'm pretty stoked about it!

This one came with six feet of chain, which I added to my existing length and a nice eight plait rode about 100 feet long it looks like. All for fifty bucks. Can't go wrong.


I'm not real worried about the crabs walking off. Me buddy wanted to camoflage them and use a zip tie to see if anyone was messing with them. And put them way back in a cove (which btw would only have had water at high tide, ha ha ha).
I just don't worry about it. If some wants a bucket, float and ten or fifteen bucks in crabs. Than they can take 'em. Just not worth getting all worried about, I figure.

Of course don't let me CATCH you stealing them..... that's a different story.
