Re: oooh i know

its the new ' Now you see me now you don't' reflector
simply feed ball bearings to the volunteer and hoist away
as soon as you hear a series of metallic clunks on deck and sense a strange smell it is time to renew you're reflector by lowering and refilling

...and when you've finished looking down your neighbour's forehatch, could you flip the halyard around the Firdell?

In addition to the line round the Firdell, what's that next to the steaming/deck light? Looks like a mug or something.

[BarryH]

Nay, the mug is hanging on the rope........who nick'd the other spreader?

[Talbot]

Did a violent tack, or the process of replacing your mast detach the steaming light?

It is a teacup .. 50% there!

[boatless]

Tricolour? But how it got there?

<hr width=100% size=1>

 

[tome]

So it's a picture of a wee mug up the rigging?

Would this have anything to do with the testozerone fuelled crew you're proposing to take to Weymouth?

[jimi]

small mercies .. at least you did'nt say two mugs in the rigging! All the clues are in the picture!

[boatless]

You got the halyard hooked up round the firdell, and thought that a mug would be just the right weight to tie on to that red line, to throw up into the aforesaid snarl up. Trouble was the red line got hooked around the steaming/flood?

[jimi]

Spot on! Fiver goes to RNLI!

[tome]

Topping lift caught around Firdell, attempted to lasoo using line with tin mug as weight?

<hr width=100% size=1>

 

[boatless]

Sorry. I'm a half Scot, and I sympathise. Mug was a good idea though; softer than the ring spanner I normally go for.

[ChrisE]

I\'m intrigued...

...why didn't you use a fender to un-Firdell the string, like everyone else?

You know, tie fender at end of string that needs to be un-Firdelled, 'nother bit of string to hold onto fender, up goes fender, rock boat a bit, off comes string, down comes string, fender, string.

But then you wouldn't have got the photo opportunity, I suppose.
