The anchor chain tried to escape

(Opps, I forgot to blog this one of our Gulf Crossing)
A temporary solution to a permanent problem. Much to my horror during our passage across the gulf I went forward to get something and noticed that the chain locker was open and the anchor chain was ‘oozing’ out onto the v-berth bunk, wet and salty…darn! David and I managed to get the chain back in place (ok, it was David that did the hard work) and rig a temporary dam. Mark has since put a latch and hook on the door (it only had a small catch) and inside the locker a board was installed to prevent the chain from hitting the door….whew!
