Like boating with one gate the wrong way round and having to fix it on the water (the dangers of getting in the wrong side of the boat!), or not doing a gate up properly and having the blade pop out and start drifting off towards the stern!<br /><br />I don't know about swapping blades over though, don't you need both blades out at the same time? Sounds dodgy to me!Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2197018474874893602.post-80436047002294418852010-11-19T13:57:09.472+00:002010-11-19T13:57:09.472+00:00I am *seriously* impressed with that drawing (you&...I am *seriously* impressed with that drawing (you've even got the filipi stripes :->). And for not falling in. And the rage fist :-D<br /><br />Woooooooooooooooooooo!<br /><br />I did have a blade pop out while paddling along the other day. Thankfully I'd spent a fair amount of time in the summer learning how to swap blades over in my gates so having one blade trailing nonchalently next to my boat wasn't too much of a problem :-> (I'd have probably have died if I'd have fallen in anyway...)Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17271901595303938998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2197018474874893602.post-14598231521290810902010-11-19T13:05:32.495+00:002010-11-19T13:05:32.495+00:00I didn't fall in luckily, probably because I w...I didn't fall in luckily, probably because I wasn't moving so the blade didn't drag in the water, that and my amazing balance skillz.<br /><br />I spent far too long on paint drawing this depiction of how my blade managed to go under my boat:<br /><br />http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/9447/rowingrage.jpgTomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2197018474874893602.post-69977782809218033012010-11-19T10:15:37.396+00:002010-11-19T10:15:37.396+00:00@Tom: Your own blade went under your boat?

I've only had one proper impeller-tangling and that was with some poor 10 year old boy, so I didn't get cross at him. He had to cut his line and I had to stick my hand under my boat to try and get his tackle (ha!) back (apparently those things are quite expensive...). I then had to do an outing with a load of wire jamming up my impeller and picking up flotsam... *sigh*Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17271901595303938998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2197018474874893602.post-15012167060034994372010-11-18T22:47:14.081+00:002010-11-18T22:47:14.081+00:00I too have a blue scratch on my shiny boat because...I too have a blue scratch on my shiny boat because some knobber at the end of a head race kept going and charged into me, and i had to let go of my right blade and it ended up under my boat. I was pretty pissed. <br /><br />Then I managed to get the blade back and he backed down into me AGAIN to offer 'help'. I resisted the temptation to actually kill him infront of his coach.<br /><br />I once managed to crash into some fishing line, get it tangled around my impeller and row 12k with some fishing line complete with bait and hook trailing from my stern. I didn't catch anything though :(Tomnoreply@blogger.com
