Mounting Rocna Anchor

Dwayne finally got two good days of weather and was able to clean out the chain locker, remark the chain, mount the Rocna anchor and fabricate a divider for the locker to allow either the Fortress or Rocna anchor to be used without difficulty.

The Fortress anchor has proven very effective for use in the Chesapeake Bay and on the ICW where most of the bottom is mud.  However, the bottom is much more varied between Fort Lauderdale and Key West.  Possible anchorages might be in soft sand, hard packed sand, shell, rock, sea grass or a mixture of these.  The Fortress anchor is not as versatile as the Rocna; therefore, time to mount the Rocna. Fortunately, the Rocna rides well in the anchor roller and there was no need to modify the anchor locker cover.  The Rocna's shank fits in the existing locker cover opening.
