The actual dive itself was a blast. However...<br /><br />Our johnboat pilot got stoned out of his gourd while we were down, making it difficult to get his attention to pick us up at the end of the dive. Strike one.<br /><br />The starter rope broke. No spare. No tools. Strikes two and three.<br /><br />The LT's "waterproof" flares sorta exploded in his hand, burning him. No first aid kit. Strikes three and four.<br /><br />Surely Maritime law and custom will compel that nearby vessel within shouting distance to come to our aid, right? They dropped anchor, looked at us for a few minutes, and left. Bastards.<br /><br />We eventually got a very long, slow tow from a good samaritan in another johnboat.<br /><br />The LT didn't offer to plan any more adventures.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09800106790176447938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6455819.post-28236991671387788952018-06-01T22:13:36.259-04:002018-06-01T22:13:36.259-04:00Having used a chainsaw for probably 50 years of so...Having used a chainsaw for probably 50 years of so, I can say it is not very easy to amputate a limb. If that is you intention, that would be a good tool to use, but it would not be a quick thing at all. I had a running chainsaw drop down on top of my thumb one day, and only cut the tendon on top of it.<br /><br />I get your point, but I would rather it would be made with a realistic example.<br /><br />BobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
