Next message: (no name): "Re: [world-cruising] re: Anchor Chain to Rode Splice?"
I don't have a copy of Brion Toss's book (although I should). Is the splice
he recommends similar to:
http://www.bluemoment.com/warpchainsplice.html ? This is the one that I
referred to as the "long splice" and the one I'm leaning toward using.
Thanks for the input,
Brian s/v Calico Jack
