This is the same system as before only last time we got off mark and several came out wrong so this is a redo with same added markers and a different color paint etc.
July 2020 - We are
currently in Paradise Village Marina in Banderas
Bay Mexico (by Puerto Vallarta)
The Comex yellow paint is a metal paint.
30' marker.
The tarp was being used to cover the boat but part of our new boat cover has freed this up. The marina dos not want the chain on the dock. It stains the cement and is hard on the chain and the dock. We used cardboard before and it is nice because it drains water.
90' marker.
Bridle marker for the Mantus Chain hook and bridle system.. I put a marker here so I know if I hook the bridal here, we will end up having 100' of 3\8 Acco chain with our 45 lb CQR all in the water. With this setup we have never dragged in hundreds of anchorings. Also with the 3\8 chain it holds the boat in-place and helps keep it from dancing around at anchor. Our keel with the skeg mounted rudder and modified fin keel also help us have a very comfortable stay at anchor.
There is at least one anchorage we sometimes stop at that can be 35-45' deep so if we have room we can let out more scope. But we have never had a problem with the 100' in the water even in bad weather conditions.
