Long time ago, I've provided you with a rather similar image. Then I was asked: "Cornelius, what's the function of the colored ropes attached to the nets?" I'm a retired seaman, but not a fisherman, so I couldn't give you the answer.
Therefore I've asked an old skipper of such a fishing boat if he could give me the reason why one has to do so. His answer was simple: "Because the net is dragged over the seabed, it is subject to wear and tear. The colored ropes serve as a kind of slider for the reduction of wear. The color is arbitrary. Usually one uses splitted old nylon ships moorings for this purpose." I could have know this, lol.
PS: I can't be on Caedes till at least Wednesday, July 20th!

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
I find that really interesting, and like R. I would think it would scare them off but I guess not, good imagery here Mr. C. and thanks for the informative narrative as well. See you sometime around the 20th! tigs=^..^=

So that is a sort of fender to save the nets from damage. Nice shot against the sky Cornelius.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
You made this photo work very well with the wheelhouse in there too.

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
They say one can learn something new every day, and I just did.
