Short anchor bridle using rolling hitch in Bahia de Navidad Lagoon - 2020

We are anchored in the Bahia de Navidad Lagoon which is mud and about 10 feet deep. So putting any bridle in the water which is less than clear or down to the mud makes a mess of the bridle

December 2020 anchored in the Bahia de Navidad Lagoon.

. Besides we only get a fetch here if the winds pick up, no swell. So this short bridle takes the strain from the chain and also makes the chain quieter. Using a rolling hitch to attach the line. The line is tied off in our anchor locker to a cleat. The chain is on a chain stopper.

 There is a wire tie on the chain and it has nothing to do with the bridle.

  If we put the bridle on the a bow cleat then when the wind blows the boat, the line will rub against the bow (gel coat). So we run it over the bow roller. When we use the Mantus Chain hook and bridle system. which has two lines,  this does not happen.
