James replaces 300 feet of 5/16" HT anchor chain on his Alberg 30 Triteia during a refit in Phuket, Thailand, after the original chain — bought in Los Angeles in 2021 for $1,200 — deteriorated severely by the time he reached Indonesia.▶ 1:11 Regalvanizing quotes in Langkawi ran $750, nearly the cost of new chain, so he bought 300 feet of 8mm G4 chain for $900.▶ 1:11 The metric chain proved incompatible with his Lofrans windlass gypsy, forcing a $500 replacement gypsy ordered from Greece with a six-to-eight-week lead time.▶ 7:28 He marks chain depth with zip ties (tails left on) and red webbing sewn at 100 and 200 feet, preferring zip ties over paint, which wears off quickly.▶ 11:54 He also deploys a Viking life raft last serviced in March 2013 — expired a decade over — and finds it still inflates, though internal batteries and some kit items are degraded.▶ 19:25 A new whisker pole, fabricated by Raleigh Tasker, replaces two successive improvised paint-extension poles that each lasted roughly 2,000 miles.▶ 25:23 The key lesson: sailors preparing for a multi-year circumnavigation should carry both a standard imperial and a metric windlass gypsy to avoid costly, time-consuming sourcing in remote ports.
