We were just sharing that memory after reading the initial comment this morning, of watching the water being rung out of the ropes when they were being tightened.

When this photo was taken, she would probably have been using 6" manila ropes.They absorbed water, which made them very heavy. Every time the ropes were released from the shore, they would come on board soaked, and we would be soaked from the waist down.
