Beginning of June at Paradise Village Marine in Puerto Vallarta Mexico
When we got back from cruising the middle of April we checked the anchor chain to see if it was worth adding 100' of 5/8 three strand rode to it. That way we could have 300' of rode so maybe 125 0r 150' of rode to it. That way in case of storms or stern anchoring life would be easier and better. Also if we wanted to get the chain galvanized it would need to be in decent shape. It seems to be in good shape by the measurements. It is hard to tell by just looking at it.
