I suppose I should get some decent line and chain splice it. He didn't understand the need to cut and run. I guess he never stared at 300 ft of floating steel slowly inching towards him at night.Latitude 43https://www.blogger.com/profile/09482326023480150403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-899528806545725735.post-5500657755112919302013-11-22T20:35:37.214-05:002013-11-22T20:35:37.214-05:00I've never given a thought to the end of my an...I've never given a thought to the end of my anchor chain.
