Hi group,

My anchor rode consists of 100 feet of chain and 2 length of 200 ft of
5/8 lines spliced together. The splice is very long. At least 24 in.
Is that splice ok?. I am concerned about how much strength is lost in
it. I am not likely to ever need to use all the chain + 200 ft of line
for anchoring but that line is also what I would use for the sea
anchor if I ever had to use it. So should I just buy a new line all in
one piece?

Thanks,

Jeannette
