lost anchor_Dock inspection

[Paul_h]

Hi Lads,
well i cracked and came home early, only to find the normal rubbish weather, however i had a couple of hours with a few mates, while picking the anchor up on the way in, we picked a dan up and a right calamity for a few minutes, cut the dan cut me anchor free and then back in.
No knocking or vibrations while coming in, so i thought, I MIGHT be lucky and no rope left around the shaft and prop..............
strapped the Gopro to my boat hook and down in went to reveal all..

Chris its still on, just took the vid today, because i wanted to see if it was still roped up before i go out tomorrow, it'll be ok just to get out the front but might need Den to get the latex and bottles on if i need to have a run further a field.

First, i will send the camera down again and see if i can wifi it to the ipad to have eyes, if it will connect i will try and cut the last bit off before I ask Den to get in and cut it, it may work if the wifi will hold the connection.

We had a couple of small codlings and whiteys, nowt to shout about, Denny had a 12.5 amongst his 8 fish and Colin had 2 x 10's and a 7 amongst his catch, the day before.

Thats a canny haul mate , do you think theres a chance of any loose threads working their way into the seal if the rope starts cutting up, looked on the video like it was round the back of the prop :question:

It should be ok Chris, only goin out the front tomorrow, it is around the back between the prop and shaft log, a gap of 40mm between.
i will tie a serated knife to the boat hook and see if i can cut it, if the gopro will connect to the ipad i will definately get it off.
