So far I have just marked anchor rode intervals with a thick black permanent marking pen ("Sharpie" or similar). It fades out after a while but it's pretty quick & easy to just re-mark. The more durable/long lasting and more visible way I have seen (and may do some day :-) is to get some bright colored tubular nylon webbing, 1/2" or 3/8" will do, cut short pieces with a hot knife (or heat seal ends some other way after cutting), and weave the pieces thru the rode at the desired intervals with a bit sticking out (assuming 3-strand rode, which is easy to do this with). cheers, John On 2/20/24 22:45, Jim Sadler wrote:
How are you skippers marking anchor chain/rope?
How much chain do you carry?
Thanks
