A few more pictures:

But I think what you guys are really interested in is this...

I actually sent Steve a note, wondered if this perhaps was out of his collection, as I knew he had a collection of anchors, but it was not. So, which of the hosts added this little gem onto our traveler? I like it.

Just a little over 36 hours left...

I had added the anchor but the line changed since i put it on !!

 

[Shawn Linn]

I changed the line it was a tangled mess , guys with only half a thumb need thick line.

 

[Chuck J]

That's cool, I told Steve it's funny to see these deeks throughout the season, and how each guy seems to need the rigging a certain way....
