Which raises the question regarding the benefits of line cutters.
I took this picture of a neighboring boat in Squirrel Cove in BC trying to raise his anchor. He had a little surprise when the anchor came up. That log on his anchor was perfectly balanced.
I have a little dink
Think he meant "drink".I have a little dink
Wow sorry to hear that! I don't have that "condition"
Murraym, isnt there a million dollar reward for capuring Bigfoot?
Oh, sorry for the misunderstanding.
Due to the movement of my rather large dog, I had to make some rapid modifications to the little dink, or dinghy as some people call them. Being a quick thinking resourcefull lad, with deftness and precision I managed to create an opening along the dinks keel line with my Leatherman tool, and used the only thing at hand (so to speak) as a drop keel. Despite a minor reduction in length of the "keel" due to very low water temperatures, I must say it worked quite well, although did create an uncomfortable encounter with an overly curious female Killer Whale, but that's another story!
Block Island, bout 1964: Anchored in the big harbor w/ 40 lb Danforth. Stayed anchored for a few days. Spent hours trying everything to retrieve anchor. Finally cut line. Bummer, must have been snagged on a cable or something! We had another for spare. To this day I carry three full sized aboard... just cause ya never know!
I think I found that anchor around 1996 while diving, but it was burried so deep we could not get it out.
It’s bout time you "reel" your "Keel" back in and proceed to nearest head shrink... At your age... luring in a female killer whale with your private appendage... GEEEEZZZ!! In a court of lay you could be charged with in-depthcent exposure!! Penalty can be up to five years in frigid water to make sure your Keel can never again be extended for the purpose of taking advantage of any sea life! You my friend are the definition of a dangerously sex crazed boater. Decade ago, when they charged me for similar offence... I filled a jock-cup with ice cubes before trial. As my attorney had me reveal my greatly encumbered “Keel” to the jury... all 12 persons laughed the prosecution out of court; case was dismissed. Judge mentioned that in this case evidence must be large enough to see with naked eye in order for any chance of convection. After release from trial I immediately applied a hot pad and was soon able to resume lurid sea-taunt activities!! Jus sayen... :lol:
