The U.S. Coast Guard reported it was towing a shrimp boat to Charleston this morning after its propellor became tangled in a fishing net Wednesday night.

Hate when that happens.

Almost a hunnert years ago, we were swingin' on the hook in Subic. When anchored in the stream, we never had less than 7 boats tied up to the boat booms (gig, omb, mike boat, utility boats and our diving boat).

One night around 2200 hrs. we got a call from the OOD. Seems one of the boats ran over a local's fishing net. We grabbed a few battle lanterns, gooped them up to make them watertight and headed down the jacob's ladder.

We donned our SCUBA gear and started the task of cutting away the fishing net. You wouldn't believe how tight it was wound on that shaft. Our Kabars got a workout that night. The whole time the op is taking place, the fisherman is chattering away demanding payment for his net.

We didn't do a lot of night diving, but it is pretty neat. There is a lot of phospherous in the water over there, so any time we fanned the water with our hands or fins, we would get a cool light show - much like the snow globes that were posted around Christmas. Of course, we spent a little extra time with the "light show" than was necessary, but that was just one of the perks of the job. Sure wish I'd taken the underwater camera along.

Just another day (night) in the life of a "Bubblehead."

Lot's more chapters in this book.

Yeah right!

[SassyMom]

LOL.... it really was me! (um, wasn't that you that I saw in a cheerleader skirt yesterday???*giggle*)

[Billie]

LOL.... My sisters and I used to LOVE to play dress up. My grandma had kept all of my mom and aunt's prom dresses and we would dress up in them. We loved all of the tulle and lace. The funny part was that most of them were strapless, so most of the time they didn't stay up. hahaha Grandma had some of the best highheels to wear too. We played like we were princesses. It was such fun!

Please tell me this is Sassy using kneezles login. :)
