ANCHORING DISASTER

Appearance can be extremely misleading. The ever present rust hides, spreads and creeps into everything on a boat and then devours all in its path. Sometimes with frightening speed. The

shackle of this hook used on the anchor chain looked fair. It would not budge when pounded with a hammer. This year with the wonder of TIME skipper who returned early to Mylady, could with a lot of TLC, get the pin out. Horror struck. 
We hung onto that?
