booby trap


booby trap

When you've passed a creel end that you gave a reasonably wide berth,you sure as hell don't expect to turn round and see it suddenly come tanking up yer ar*e and wrap itself round the rudder! There was 30 or 40 feet of rope floating on the surface,so whoever ye are mannie,FFS stick a wee bit of chain on the blo*dy riser before some poor sod gets a real fanning up job.I don't know how,but I got away with it,the next lad might not be so lucky.That's ma greetin' faced auld basta*d rant over for the night,I can sit back and enjoy the pics and the banter now lol

    If your unfortunate and get fangled up, Never been fangled up myself you understand.for chopping a rope i prefer ordinary straight blade, first officer prefers serrated,third officer carries hacksaw and breadknife if all else fails there is always the grinder.


    Or KY16's preferred method, ye olde scallop dredge!!!!

    Yes it was me Paul.I'm well used to passing close by your,Sandy's and David Isaac's ends without any bother at all,but that one fairly caught me on the hop.I wasnae expecting yon. In my defence though,there was a helluva length of rope floating about!
