I returned in 2006 in a new boat and was totally appalled by the number of pot buoys. Snagged a few myself with a similar story/solution as yours. I have NO compunction about just cutting the darn things.<br /><br />I went south for the winter with the intention of possibly returning for another season in Maine but quite frankly, just the thought of all those buoys, toggles and lines awaiting me served to tip the balance and I took the boat to the PNWDryfeetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818698918218660196.post-19578629503211809902010-10-23T10:22:38.527-04:002010-10-23T10:22:38.527-04:00I was in a similar situation a few years ago in Je...I was in a similar situation a few years ago in Jericho Bay. Wind and current kept us pretty much anchored by the stern. Could not get the float line close enough with a boat hook to be able to cut it. I was fortunate that I was towing a dinghy at the time, and was able to untangle the mess from the dinghy. Not a fun experience with the stern rising and falling in the waves. This, by the way, was a float with a toggle. These are the ones you are most likely to snag. Ever since that experience I carry a little grapnel anchor on the after deck. A sharp knife is always attached to the pedestal. I can catch the float line with this anchor, and put the anchor rode on a sheet winch and winch it in. Then I can cut the line. I do carry a spare toggle float that I may tie to the float line before I cut it. And ever since I carry this anchor I haven't snagged one float!<br />Parts of Maine are littered with floats. The entrance to Tenants Harbor is particularly notorious. But it is part of Maine. At least the floats are colorful. I look at it from the perspective that with fewer lobster floats around, Maine would be much more crowded than it is now.<br /><br />Thierry<br />Cabo Rico 42 CURLEWThierryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01921805294153151388noreply@blogger.com
