El Capitan
I was cleaning/inspecting my ground tackle post trip and came across this section of line that had been partially frayed through. Fortunately, it was pretty far back and I hadn’t let out that much line until our last night anchored out during a very windy night ( Awendaw Creek, just south of McClellanville).
I found a section of the underside of the anchor platform that had become very rough, and apparently, the line had chaffed almost completely through one strand. Fortunately, the wind dropped during the night and she held on the two remaining strands, or we could have had a rude awakening.
If you’re going out and plan on anchoring, you might want to check your line before you go. KJ
