..I ordered in some stuff I needed/wanted (never want to confuse the two) for Jaunty for interior and exterior accoutrements. After some research and dickering and thinking and thinking..and thinking I decided to go with an Origo one burner for my cookstove. I had one of these on my last boat and really liked it. I wanted a drop in stove with potholders that I wouldn't have to stow or mess with. Go below for tea waters, it's ready to run, just touch a match. I managed to save 40 bucks by dickering a bit but nonetheless had to buy new as used just couldn't be found and I wanted to have it on hand to fit for my cabinetry work. And I finally resolved the Rocna vs. Supreme anchor dilemma for myself. Or rather it was solved for me by price and relatively equal performance stats. The Rocna 13 lb'er woulda been 310. at WM. I liked aspects of this anchor. The Manson Supreme 15 lb'er, however, was 170. bucks at Defender. Shipping was about equal oddly enough. I ordered one size up for general principles. I can still lift fifteen pounds for 'nother year or two and will sleep better at night at anchor with the oversized. So I got presents coming for Jaunty, best get to work.
