on fb the comment was all on a bit of worn 18mm. I'd like to think that comment was said tongue-in-cheek. I was just quoting ..... though the post did seem to be indicating it was the crane boat plus their bits he was talking about ..... something on the line of going home for the weekend with bad weather forecast .... so presumably meaning the work boats

if they'd been tied badly they probably would have broken free by themselves and not dragged everything else loose, but I can't say much because I never saw how theirs was tied, only saw "some workboat looking stuff" was tied to connie when I saw it from the road bridge before it all went wrong. The legs are down on Lily Pad, don't know if that signifies anything but it's 20' deep where connie was before it all broke free and the legs are only 10' at most.
I'm told another boat broke a rope further up the wharf seconds before all that happened, not connected to the break-away ones at all by anything except timing, has me thinking it may have been a big log coming thru in the flood.
I really need to look up the breaking strain of that 16mm polyhemp rope, must've been some huge forces at play to have snapped them off the jebus like that!
