rhys, did you see the current GOB and its comment about stopping chafe using a
cable through the chocks (two concentric PVC pipes to protect the chock) then
hooked to *rope* hooked to 8 (?) feet of chain hooked to the anchor?
Interesting. Appears to have completely eliminate any chance of chafe.

Mr. Spragg, I salute your command of verbal imagery. A brief comment a
Scottish friend made once sums it up: "Yer man's got a heid full o'
wee motors". Classic.

He even complimented me, recently. That was scary. I had to re-read
a week's worth of my old postings, to see where I went wrong.

Yeah, I got one of those once, presumably right after one of his
"sessions"..or perhaps the moon was in phase or something.

It soon cleared up and he was back to chewing through his rode.
