    Dont forget about the tide

    Gday All,

    Was looking thru some old pics and came across this 1. This is dropping the anchor to close to a reef and the tide going out. If you look at the front boats bow, most of it is actually not sitting on anything, just fresh air.

    A good way to spoil your day...

    Cheers Ean

    May be hard to believe, but I wasnt responsible for that effort. That boat belongs to a friend, but yes next high tide all was fine.

    At the time the front one was a mothership, thats the reason the small one is hanging off the back.

    If they were Naval craft, then that was the end of career aspirations for the skippers, and probably a few juniors by association.

    so thats where the failcraft mob got their advertising ideas from.
    I hope your mates got some credit ean!

    The smaller trawler looks to have her cooling coils on the high side, i wonder if the big girl was sitting on hers? That woul bring some anxiety on the run in i would think!
