Next message: A Grain of Sand: "RE: lv-ab: anchor rode?"
This was a new piece. Larry DeMers responded that it is low stretch and thus
not suitable for anchor rode. I guess I could string it up the side of the
driveway next winter so that I could pull myself out. Sigh, snow banks still
5-6' high with no bare ground in sight.

I don't know that I'd put my vessel at peril by using an anchor rode with
an unknown history. It is my understanding that any line that has been
subject to harsh jerking stress could be beyond it's useful life and break
at less that it's rated strength because of previous abuses.
What do the people who live on the hook have to say?
