Hi Pete and all,
I have no idea either how the Navy legend of Nelson skipping cannon balls
came about. That mud on the flats you wrote about can't be very deep if
cannon balls are recoverable but no matter skipping balls over mud is even
more preposterous than over watter. Being a viscous semi solid it presents so
much more drag cannon balls would just go spat straight into it. You can skip
a stone on water but it stops cold on mud, I've tried it.
Of course the Yorkshiremen did it better, much more opportunity next to a
shipping lane. Eh, scooters don't float but shipping containers do and
they're easily broken in to on the beach. It floaed all the way from Japan?
As Fred Flinstone would say; droll, very droll. (;->) The ship broke up
offshore and the beach was littered with containers and cargo from those
broken open by the waves farther off the beach was strewn everywhere. The
scooter in question was removed from an undamaged container dry as a bone and
perfectly operable, just add gas.
What? Of course fish tonight, it's Friday and every Catholic is obligated to
eat fish or burn in hell. I call it Fry Day because mum usually fried it and
we're not even Catholic. (;->)
