My New Anchor Arrived!!

Bless its little galvanized heart! My new 44 lb plow anchor arrived. It was bubble wrapped! How cute is that! Wouldn't want that anchor to get scratched now would we? Also, my 100' of BBB galvanized chain spliced into 200' of nylon anchor rode also arrived.
With the help of my friends Pat, Jan and Ken, I was able to get the old anchor, chain and rode removed and the new one installed in about 25 minutes. To show how good of friends these guys are, we did this in a steady misting rain.
Does anyone else out there get spooked when a project comes off without a hitch? I kept waiting for some sort of snafu to slow us down and it never came. That always leaves me waiting for the other shoe to drop. Oh well, shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth... or is that "shouldn't look a gift anchor in the fluke?"
Anyhoo... I was gonna post a pic of the anchor but hey, who wants to look at a hunk of galvanized steel when you can look at two pretty ladies and a very lucky skipper? Here's another pic from the weekend.
