Cold galvanizing is a process that does not require dipping the metal. It is much like spray painting and protects the metal surface almost as good as the hot dipping process. The reason I mention this is that we have an anchor aboard that has the galvanizing worn off and when we purchased the boat I bought a can of cold galvanizing to apply to the anchor to protect it from the salt environment. Today I looked at that anchor and looked at my boat "to do" list and decided that the rusty anchor is very far down on my list. Today is was changing out the window blinds that Maggie destroyed in St. Augustine. After that, the port leaking water tank got the first coat of sealer. Next was touching up the varnish where the anchor and lines had skinned it. After that were the usual boat maintenance projects, then the list of projects to ready the boat to depart tomorrow. But we did take timeout of our busy day to go downtown to act like tourists. It was a nice day and the streets were full. All is well in Charleston harbor.
