There’s unofficially a lot more to this one than a lobster pot line…

Years ago my wife strangely broke her foot on one of those Boston whale watching boats that pull out of the aquarium by some how rolling it funny across the deck. If that is the same boat, it’s just cursed. No other explanation.

From what it sounded like on the Morning News today was that they got a 5 inch (or there about) deck line in their wheel. Divers have gone down but they were running on one screw but should be back at the dock by now.

I am sure that we will be hearing about someone tossing a line over the side and how everyone has to make sure that this never happens again.

More to it, as I alluded. Didn’t want to be the one who said so, but here is the CG:

A BHC boat gets tangled up in the LNG bouy another BHC boat was supposed to be enforcing a safety zone around…I would love to be a fly on the wall for that client meeting!

And for the first time in about 4-5 years they were planning to have a ship move onto the buoy this week.
