I am fairly confident i will find it and the owner of the boat has a large magnet in boat for such events , i did have a cord on the saw and a holster but in my wisdom getting ready i forgot to clip cord in , will dredge it with a rake too which should pickup the cord :confused1: fingers crossed .

Well i have been looking forward to this job for months has a challenge and a first for me . A tatty old willow with a bad lean over a private customers canal boat mooring ,not his tree but next door gave him permission to cut the offending limb back . Over the years many branches and limbs have hit his boat so he has had enough, off i went and choose my anchor point and again a first hit with my throw bag with baler twine too. Took the slack up and off i went off the mooring deck swinging into middle of canal laughing . Cut the story short all was going well and settled in a good working position and first cut i made with my new SILKY SAW i forgot to clip the strap to my harness ..........................SPLASH!!!! Had to finish job with my old Stihl handsaw . Going back at weekend with my KAYAK and do some Fishing !!!!!. Anyone else done the same ??? Ste

Just be careful you don't get sucked in with dreams of bigger and fancier toys , I am the world worst for it looking through EBAY , farmers trader etc , like previously said they don't come with work ! In 9 years I have had 4 different work horses, best buy was my IVECO daily 3 years ago in highway yellow , that alone did bring in work by the colour and will be a long time before I part with her. Choose wisely that will cope with a drop in work . Ste

I was not looking forward todays job has weather forecast said 100% chance of rain so when i went out to let chickens/ducks out this morning was greeted to a lovely Sunrise . Job went well apart from nicking my rigging line with me new Silky saw but hey ho . A little coni also to the right of the main job and grind both stumps out,being curious of the height i drop a measure and bang on 50FT . Lovely view across the Mersey too .
