Maintenance work - Checking the mooring

Yesterday was a fine day, with clean water in Urca, just right to do a periodic check on my mooring. I hired a diver, Marivaldo, to go down with a camera, and give me a visual of the conditions of my mooring.

My boat is light, and my mooring is strong. So I wasn't expecting any problems. But I wanted to have it done anyway. And it was good that I did. Becasue even small issues can cause big problems. I this case, fishing lines had tangled around the link that prevents the twisting of the mooring line, above the chain. The link got jammed, and therefore the mooring line twisted and got compromised. It won't break right now, but I do need to change the line.
