April 7-15 spring break offers an opportunity here to jettison the hard and reach for some water time. Hopefully, the weather will have moderated some by then. One can only hope. So, an itinerary might include Friday Harbor/Roche Harbor, or some place never tried, preferably an anchorage somewhere in the San Juan Islands. Any suggestions; I'm open?
Been by Maple Bay before a number of times, but never stopped. Perhaps Stu might be home for a visit, eh?
Plan to install my new anchor chain this weekend; fifty feet of ACCO brand domestic 5/16th hot dipped galvanized grade 40 (G4) chain. Debating whether to stay with the current warp splice or go with a thimble. The splice has held well over the years and slides smoothly through the bow roller and windlass. The original thimble worked well, too until it wore out from use and corrosion.
