July 21st. 2005
15ft green fishing net round Port prop.
We made a dash across the Channel trying to keep ahead of a strong wind warning, not very pleased to loose power as the tide turned and seas mounted.
On arrival at Cherborug (after usual trolly dash and a cold one) we found a short length of twine which when pulled got longer and longer, I put on dive gear and 40 mins later cut away 15 ft of green fishing net.
Very cold and dizzy when I had finished, I wouldnt like to try it at sea.

Thanks to the couple in the sail boat at the side who gave huge moral support.
