Yeah, the rope thing doesn't work while I'm moving, so there's that other one I have for backup. It has the temp too. But the rope trick does work.

Well , you have gone high tech on us.
Comment by bluegillboogieman on October 5, 2010 at 6:39pm
I thought of that but I knew the knots woudn't go throught the pulley guide. I also don't have to count knots, just look at the rope above the pulley for the marks.

In the old days instead of using waterproof paint to paint the rope they used knots and counted the knots on the rope to tell the depth.

Old school? How did the river boats do it in Mark Twain's day?

OK , this one was over my head,my depth finder is my porcupine quill , when it lays on its side and never goes vertical I know how deep it is, then I check it with my depth finder, then I yell Mark Twain, now thats old skool.

I'll take his word for it. Formula says 8 oz but scales always tell true. How'd you like the puzzle?
Comment by Lord of the Fly , Rods on October 5, 2010 at 2:43pm
That bluegill on you purddy paddle weighed 7 oz. ,He told me , do you know how that fish knew how much he weighted , He had scales.

Close! But no banana. I've got to end this, never thought it would take this long. There are three black marks on the rope. Hence the repeated clues"few". Those are just the ones visible. Three feet from the bottom of the anchor there is one black mark, painted on with waterproof fabric paint. Six feet up there are two marks. Nine feet, three and so on. The anchor ropes are the poor mans depth finder.

I don't guess this will be the most viewed picture on here, or the most commented on, but I'd bet good money it is the most closely examined. The things my friend won't do to help me entertain myself. Thanks for the fun, sorry you were frustrated. I thought it would be so easy for observant people like..... ugh....hmmm. Never mind.

That is a beautiful paddle. I got the nicest paddle in town!

Well, I'll take a wild guess that the rope is marked off with inches for measuring fish. So, the question to wonder about would be - why do you need that rope when you have that beautiful paddle?
