So, I got about 80 ft of almost new anchor chain over the summer. I waited till now to try my luck at splicing. I’ve also got a new mantus swivel to put on.
Also a pic comparing the old and new splices. I’m happy I changed it
Awesome. Florida boating just about anywhere is so shallow and that water looks so deceiving. Up my way if you do run aground the worst is your stuck in the mud....I would be terrified to be out side any marked chanels- and I'm surevthere are not many of those!

Yes... I jumped in and explored via snorkel before getting that close.. a wind shift would have been a disaster, but we stayed close to keep an eye on it.
Brown brown, run aground, White white, you might, Green green, nice and clean, Blue blue, run right through
there are nicely marked channels, just make sure you look at your charts as you explore them as it can take years to replace them after a storm. And as I think I've mentioned before the red/green markers flip sides when you from from Atlantic to bayside of the keys. Bayside aka gulf side.
Our town usually does ine but still to flooded to get on the water. St johns flows north and only drops about an in per mile to move water- and then hits the ocean in Jacksonville...rhe whole river is a big lake and is drawing down very slow...
I will be taking my son's boat in the Annapolis/Eastport parade of lights this Saturday. I'll make sure to get some good pictures. Anyone that might be going, make sure to say hello, we'll be in the 20' Grady white with a Christmas tree on top.
Number one rule for boating in FL fresh waters...always have someone that is a bad swimmer with you. You can't out swim the gator but be able to out swim whi is with you!
Believe it or not, this was work... 🤣 Very easy work and ended with a $10 milkshake on the boss at Robert is here. My good friends from home shake their head and ask me the same thing. 😆😆

Team Aeroshell is a great performance to watch! I worked many shows with them.
