Chain Retrieval

Brock and Marco dove in the cold canal today to pick up the chain we dropped on the bottom last year when we replaced our anchor rode.  Marco tied a line to the chain and Brock slowly hauled it up.  There was about three hundred feet of chain!  Now we just need to find a container to transport it in to our new mooring site :)  We de-rusted it in batches using a low strength hydrochloric acid.

Brock and Marco also spliced two new lifelines this afternoon.  Marco liked the "heat gun" in particular :)  He caught on incredibly quickly.

Madison and I investigated the failed GPS as instructed by the Captain, removed the wrong panel, removed the right panel, then stalled until the Captain joined us.  The main GPS simply needed the battery switch turned on, after checking the voltage.  And the handheld GPS only needed new batteries!  I was able to fix that on my own :)

Next on the agenda . . . BAGGYWRINKLES!
