We decided 
shortly after we got the boat that we didn't like the idea of storing the 
rode in the tray in the v-berth. Didn't like the idea of introducing all 
that excess moisture (and muddy smell) to the interior. When we hauled 
anchor last weekend after the storm, not only was the anchor loaded with 
mud but the chain was extremely muddy for about half its length. We were 
able to get most of the mud off the anchor by dunking but the bag kept the 
muddy chain contained until we could get back to the dock and a hose. We've 
been considering some sort of washdown set-up.
