Rub Your Balls with Grease | Anchor and Chain Refit on an Aluminum Catamaran (Ep. 94)

Welcome to our boat refit on our aluminium catamaran, SV Emma James. This week we are gaining a new crew member and working on oour anchor and chain. Our ground tackle maintenance involves getting ALL the chain out of the anchor locker, cleaning, re-galvanizing, measuring, painting, tieing knots, etc etc. Join us in the shipyard for some fun! ________________ ABOUT US: Ahoy! We are the James Family, a family of three sailing around the world and sharing our adventures in family-friendly episodes every week! Sam is originally from New Zealand, Cait is originally from the United States; we met in Cairns, Australia and a few years later during Covid-19 we eloped and then a year later our family grew and we welcomed Charlie! We took the big plunge in 2022 and decided to follow our dream, sold everything, and purchased an old, unfinished, aluminum Catamaran and we are now are fixing her up as we sail around the world.
