Hard Work

'It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it'.
Successful deployment of a new mooring dead man
1500kg dead weight.

Weather sunny and calm. We had seen the forecast the day before and decided to take on the task of re-newing a mooring.
 We marked the mooring position and I kitted up. So began the drawn out process of diving to move a lump of concrete, filling the lifting bag, towing it out to the mooring, sinking it, diving to get the lifting bag, repeat, repeat with chain, shackle chain to blocks, repeat all of the above to remove old mooring. Eventually, we got it all done. I was very weary, exhausted, worn-out, drained, bushed, sleepy, beat, wiped out, dog-tired, all in, done in, tired out, spent, shattered. Took three hours in all, ably helped by Paul. Time for a beer.
