[Rhodes22-list] Stuffing the Anchor Chain Box

[Leland]

Rick,

That's certainly smarter than the methods I tried before I gave up and
stored the anchor and rode elsewhere.  I rarely anchor but I'd be curious of
those who do--do you keep your rope and/or chain rode in the box?  It just
seems so inconvenient.  I use the box to store extra line that I'll probably
never need to access.
