Default Chain to road splice

We did the same on our last boat and I liked it quite a bit. We did the Shovel splice. Seperating the strands into quarters and passing through in opposing pairs over about 2' of chain. We used oversized 3 strand that was easier to hold onto and this splice allowed for a clean transition into the chain whereas a tucked splice back into the line wouldn't have.
