Prop Trouble
September 27, 2011

For Garry, Saturday presented him with an unwelcome task. A rope had fouled the prop which had then somehow fallen off. Once out of the water it was clear that the power of a big engine and a strong rope were enough to strip the nut, allowing the prop to fall. Sunday morning the prop was recovered from the mud in the mooring and things soon put back together. |  |

When Don goes down to the Club on weekends, he normally grabs a bucket & cloth and shines up some windows. Last weekend he turned into a one man working bee by grabbing the mower and getting stuck into the long grass that's sprung up over the past couple of weeks. Thanks Don. |
