New Anchor Setup

Just before leaving for Panther Key this past weekend, I had to replace the anchor setup since I lost my anchor and anchor chain two weeks prior at Panther Key when the anchor line snapped!
I replaced with the 150 foot 3 strand 1/2" eco pack from West Marine, then 5/16" stainless steel shackled that to an 11 foot length of 5/16" (hot dipped galvanized steel) proof coil chain (got 11 feet instead of 10, one foot for free since it was the end of the line in the box), and 5/16" stainless steel shackled that to a new 22 pound claw anchor.
Next task is to acquire markers for marking lengths on the anchor rope.
