Saturday 25th Aug 07 17.00hrs.
Heading west off Selsey Bill 3/4 mile from Owers Bouys caught prop on line. No marker visable until dislodged. Very small bouy was submersed covered in thick weed invisable against the chop.
Managed to unhook the line without much effort - a close call in unpleasant sea conditions.
Noted a number of obscured bouys and semi submersed bouys en route but missed this one completely until it caught us.
