I was happily watching this 'snake' of red and white work hazard tape snaking rapidly down the bank into the canal before I realised why! My best prop experience was many years ago on the Tame Valley. After the initial cursing when the engine stopped dead with a mass of rope on the prop, I became more and more exited as we kept hauling in yards and yards or 14mm polypropylene rope - We ended up with 200 yards of the stuff on the back deck (in *as new* condition). I never bought any rope for 20 years afterwards! Phil ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Great things are happening at Yahoo! Groups.
