Walking along the wharf was a hive of activity at the marina this afternoon. Cast nets were being through, fish being caught, helicopters coming and going, boats heading out on the island hop, and reef trips. Then you come to million dollar row and all the game fish boats are in at the moment too. There certainly are amazing boats/ships there at the moment, and no matter the cost it is the humble rope that secures them to their berth. Granted on the bigger ships more ropes are required, but it is the rope that ties it all in and keeps them tightly tucked in for the duration of their stay in port. Coiled beside the bollards ready to cast off on the next adventure or just clumped in a pile for a quick escape. I’m sure if the ropes could talk they could share some adventures with us, at the moment we just have to be content to make our own up.
