If I was weeding on a sailing ship, what would I be doing?

? Breaming? ( burning the weed off the hull bottom)? or is that too obvious and you are looking for a more cryptic answer?

Just googled "Weeding Sailing ship" and apparently it is related to taking part in a perpetual quiz on the Bristol CHannel Forum.

You need to do this on sailing ships cos they take so long to get anywhere. This activity is usually followed by some Whiting and then AWhiffmetic. (To calculate how far you haven't travelled)

Crow rock is correct but which part of the body is your linney attatched to?? Ah I see you mean the head part. Nearly right .

Question is still open for a full answer.

 

[mrbloto]

rock nose which is by mermaids pool devon coast by westward ho;

 

[graham]

crow rock which is of linney head pembroke;
rock nose which is by mermaids pool devon coast by westward ho;

Crow Rock was one of the answers. The other answer which no ones got yet lies very close to it.And before any wag comes up with it the answer isnt Ball rock either.
