My mate at the club had a bad day on Sunday, his Jet Ski got tangled up with a submerged nylon cord, anchored to a heavy weight which used to anchor a barley straw bale, the boat's prop wrapped the cord round itself and like a winch, slowly pulled the ski backwards under the surface.
Not knowing this, he sent his tug out on a rescue attempt....exactly the same thing happened and it dragged the tug to Davy Jones locker too.....
A few pics and vids...
