Take these chains

I've found it useful, when cruising/delivering away from the 'chi-chi' marinas Doun Souf, to carry a couple of ~2 metre lengths of robust chain with a stout shackle in each end.
These get used where the mooring lines must lead over the edge of a rough granite harbour wall to rings or things, or around well-barnacled piles, and the lines taken through - or tied off - the shackles. The chain takes the abrasion - and it also frustrates the feral children who have a mind to set your boat free when you're in the fish and chippery queue, three streets away.
