RIP Lily Jnr

[Jos]

Its a sad day indeed - Lily is resting in Davey Jone's locker.

Lesson learnt - don't hold a rod and a Reo at the same time coz you will get a bite and as they say "the rest is history".

A moment's silence please.

Happier days.

On another note - if anyone is selling a mini - pls let me know.

It fell into the water while fishing from a boat I presume. I wonder if the new Urethane Reo's float, coz they'll be perfect for this application

Ah, thanks for explaining @huffnpuff - I had a really dumb moment there - "rod" and "bite" in the same sentence.
I thought it had to do with a welding rod - and I just could not fathom what Jos was talking about.
I forgot Jos is a fishing enthusiast...

Sorry again @Jos - and hope you get sorted with a new one soon...

 

[Andre]

What a loss! Sad indeed.

It's funny how experience is one of those things you get only after you needed it. I just realised that with all the holes in an SL one can attached a neck lanyard.

Anyways, always a heart stopping moment when something like this happens.

 

[Alex]

I was thinking that in future, attaching a lifeline to the Reo would be a good idea when on the water. Would be easy to thread something through one of the SL holes on the rear. Some paracord should work great.

 

[Jos]

I was thinking the same thing as i saw the last flash of Lily before she sank out of sight

Oh Wow! That's sad and not kewl at all @Jos! Was she insured? I have insured Avril.

Did you GPS the spot? Where did she go overboard? How deep? I have become so very careful since loosing a 36 hour old iPhone into Goedertrouw Dam and a Nautilus on a SID into Inanda.

We might be able to enlist a diver, depending on location?

 

[hands]

aaah man. i can imagine the moment it happened

 

[Jos]

Ja - she is insured but wondering whether its even worth the hassle with the excess.

Could be a free reo for someone else. Claim from the insurance then send in the salvage team

 

[VandaL]

Was she insured? I have insured Avril.

Can only imagine explaining that to a broker. Did u call it Avril?

Nooit @Jos
thats just disappointing. I almost think i would have dove in after it.
either way she was a stunner.

 

[vaalboy]

Eish sorry to hear @Jos. My two biggest fears have been losing my phone and Reo overboard. My iphone is still swimming at Inanda and I almost lost one Reo at Goedies two weekends ago when I left it on the pedestal before shooting off to another spot . Luckily it did not fall off during the ride.

What do you guys normally wear when fwooshing?

 

[Rob Fisher]

What do you guys normally wear when fwooshing?

Slops, shorts and t-shirt. If the sun is blasting then a long sleeve shirt and big floppy hat!

 

[Jos]

Shorts and T-Shirts mostly.
