[Rhodes22-list] Luis please help Mark

[Mary Lou Troy]

Mark,
I was an early poster on this subject. We never used the rode tray in our boat more because of past experience anchoring on the Chesapeake than because of anyone else's experience. We did it more because I didn't like the IDEA of a wet mucky rode in an open compartment in the v-berth rather than through specific experience. In the Chesapeake the bottom is often mud and the anchor, chain and even the lower part of the rode can get pretty muddy. That mud has all kinds of vegetation, oil and other stuff embedded in it. The mesh bags we use to store the anchors and the rode make it easy to keep the wet and the mud out of the cabin. Sometimes they ride home with us in the cockpit and don't go back into the lazarette until after they've been hosed off on the dock. We keep the boat in a slip and have the luxury of a hose connection right by the boat. Your usage and anchorages may be quite different.
