[C320-list] Anchor Line

[Angus Henderson]

Like Brian. I do not have a wash down system for the anchor/chain—-but would like one.  I use a bucket and flush down down the chain as best I can. I single hand most of the time so the degree of flushing is dependent heavily on wind and anchorage conditions. Once a year I take all chain and rode out of the anchor locker and clean it out thoroughly to start another annual cycle.
