This blog began in late 2006 with the planning and preparation for a circumnavigation of the world in my 39-foot sail boat Pachuca. It then covered a successful 5-year circumnavigation that ended in April 2013. The blog now covers life with Pachuca back home in Australia.

Anchor Well Final

I promise that this is the last word on the anchor well job.

The upper photo shows the upper shelf with the second rode of 70 meters of rope and about 15 meters of chain. (Yes, I know, one section of the chain should be either replaced or re galvanized.)

The middle photo shows the upper shelf in place with the main anchor rode of 38 meters fed through the hawser pipe into the chain locker below.

The bottom photo shows me varnishing the upper shelf of the anchor well after I had modified it to accommodate the extended hawser pipe. In the background are outrigger boats at practice.
