We're going back to the boat in a couple of weeks (Guatemala) and were talking about getting 8 more feet of 'fire hose'. The Admiral was thinking of whipping the ends to keep them from unraveling and I added that we could cut them so they can be put on the middle of a line. It was all starting to sound like a lot of work.

In the end, I said "someone probably already makes it".

The fire hose works great except for trying to get it on the anchor chain. It's really hard to stretch it over the anchor, an 88lb Delta.

We have some cut for mid line usage but I never like the way it stays together thinking it will just spread, break the zip-ties and fall off during a good blow.
