If I don't have a good anchor chain I'm dead in the water.

Well I am a sea captain. I run A Ship called Blackwater of of the harbor of New Bedford, Massachusetts. Most of the time we anchor in sand and rocks. But if my anchor gets stuck and I don't have a reliable anchor chain I am in trouble.

Let's take a moment to tell you what could happen without a good anchor chain. Well first of all all my baskets wish fish in them would rip out of one side then a simple wave could knock us over. Without a good anchor chain we could never sleep. We would go to sleep in the Atlantic and wake up in the Pacific and be lost.

I use Bilco for dependable anchor chains that will give me peace when I am asleep at sea.
