The crew of SV Cordelia, a Venus 46 ketch, replaces their anchor chain after years of neglect led to severe rust and deck staining.3:50 They install 100 meters of 12mm galvanized chain paired with a 40kg Rocna anchor and a Mantis swivel.14:00 To manage the chain, they use AnchorRite plastic markers, which they install in five-meter intervals.11:23 The replacement process involves transporting the heavy chain in a small dinghy, which nearly sinks under the weight.7:30 Additionally, the crew addresses widespread surface rust on the boat’s stainless steel fittings using a specialized rust-removal product.15:08 Beyond maintenance, civil unrest and food shortages in Martinique force the crew to adjust their provisioning plans.16:43 They report empty supermarket shelves and a nighttime curfew, which complicates their ability to stock the freezer for their upcoming passage to Dominica, Antigua and Barbuda, St Martin, the BVI, and Puerto Rico.17:34 They plan to spend the hurricane season in Aruba.18:58 Regular maintenance of ground tackle and stainless steel prevents long-term structural degradation and cosmetic damage.
