We anchored for two nights in Rockport, the other side of the peninsula from Gloucester. The windlass brought up the anchor just fine. So far it is 1 for 1. The chain links I found were irregular on one side, not rounded like normal chain. I think I could feel a slight bump as they rode over a post inside windlass. Maybe those irregular edges will wear down. I will look for more chain.
We are on our way to Portland. No wind. I left York at 0530 in a slack tide. Current rips through the narrows. I had difficulty rowing against it. The York harbormaster shared all sorts of knowledge.
We are planning for some shopping, including a replacement Fortress anchor, in Portland as well as a rendezvous with a good friend who has been receiving packages for us.
