The things friends do

[Robbie8666]

once (December 85) a mate & I were asked if we would move a canal boat from Nottingham to Sawley marina, a days work, however as we entered the River Trent it was running too fast so decided to re-enter the canal. my mate thought that throwing the anchor in to turn the boat was a good idea so as I heard the plop of anchor hit the water quickly followed by a tirade of expletives.. yep he hadn't checked that the chain was secured at both ends!!

still laugh about it to this day!!

this was at the start of our naval careers... however the officer never bothered to ask us again  :rollin
