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.
