haggis Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) Just creeping through woodseaves cutting and the contractors are doing some serious pruning .it is a few years since we came this way and they were doing the same then. A bit like the Forth Road Bridge perhaps. It is very atmospheric with the leaves drifting down. I know they get round the prop but it is very pretty when it rains leaves ?

jake_crew Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 Is that the cutting that's haunted ? There is one on the Shroppie that old timers won't moor overnight at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haggis Autumn has definitely arrived this week, Brum is showing off its colours in style at the moment and it is stunning in places Obviously that gives people something else to moan about but sod em 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter X Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 Leaves are the least bad thing to have on your prop, "chuck back" (a quick burst of reverse) soon sorts them out. Lurching rather off topic... But I've been on boats which experienced wire, a backpack, a sofa cover, and several times the tow rope (my fault once!); all more problematic. My top tips for not being responsible for getting stuff round a prop are: 1. Avoid the BCN; the wire, backpack and sofa cover all happened there. Hard for the steerer to see them coming, it wasn't me steering anyway on each occasion, and I doubt I'd have spotted them, probably lurking below the surface. 2. If steering the motor when towing on a line, understand the technique of pulling the tow rope in promptly when stopping and get it right. The NBT has various people who are much better at that than me. Hence: 3. Be the butty steerer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
