I wanted to say thanks to the gentleman that saved our trampoline this morning around 8am.

I awoke to the surprise of it being gone (and I hadn't had my coffee yet), I woke the family and off we went. We searched all the way down rattlesnake and were about to give up and then we saw it being towed over near the mouth of Alton Bay!

We had fun towing it home in the white caps that are in the broads right now. There were many cheers from fellow rattlesnakers enjoying their coffee while watching the show (did I mention I hadn't had mine yet?).

So a huge thanks to the trampoline rescuer!

BTW, it had two chains, a 3 point harness and a safety wire, so a lake dive is in my future to figure this out.

Funny, just as I read this, a similar tramopline floated by! Someone in a gray utility boat is recovering it now.

Sometimes, the chain is too short, and wave action(s) lifts everything off the bottom.

Don't use "snap-hooks" for your connections—use shackles—and really tighten them!

A different, but similar, "gray utility boat":

A Loon wailed repeatedly in the direction of a strong and chilly wind: but what should come drifting along afterwards, but still another raft? :laugh:
