470 fathom , makes it sound easier ,mike
will need a heavier grapple hook and some long heavy chain
so I can direct onto the hard bank and the tow it down hill and hopefully hook straight on to it and pull it off backwards .......
sound esay don't it ......

was dreaming of Africa , wanting to get back there , and not watching what I was doing and towed to far, when it happened .
