A Canada Goose caught up in a fishing line.<br /><br />The poor thing was thrashing about and becoming more entangled. The fisherman had to reel it in and cut it free. It then swam off quite happily. Hopefully unhurt.<br /><br />Stuart - Thanks for the info on COG and SOG.<br /><br />HAL (UK)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853521447761375706.post-59883124911961544492010-05-30T20:50:17.242+10:002010-05-30T20:50:17.242+10:00Firstly, to Stu and your wife Lynne (I hope that i...Firstly, to Stu and your wife Lynne (I hope that is the correct name cos it is a long time since I read that Blog re your sailing boat) my sincerest condolences re you son Shaun. I am sorry I didn't pick up on this sooner but was William Watson who pointed it out to me. I now fully understand and appreciate your involvement and passion with supporting this venture!!<br /><br />I so agree with William Watson that it would be awesome for the guys to see our messages of encouragement - that just may be what they need for the likes of Dave W to keep going.......<br /><br />@Ehvee and Reine - while your comments are quite justified - let's not pick on Dave W too much - too be honest he has now done more than a lot of us would dare to do.............I know workaholics and he seems to be one and is wrong to use his children but let's not bag him. I see no point in bringing Zac on board???? Would way prefer to see Dave finish it.

All the best to you but it has already been done almost 30 yrs ago.<br />With talk of book and documentary production why should the Australian tax payer pick up the tab on your adventure? Will you use the customs helicopter to shoot aerials?Will the blog author allow this?<br />Jack Scott.
