Beach-combing

Post by JERSEYMAN »

Beach-combing where I keep my boat on the beach, due to recent weather a lot of the sand has been washed away leaving stones, debris and would you believe, an organic spark plug and a brand new prop spring.
Silly I know but I just couldn't help it :roll:

Interesting what you can find at low tide, not bad condition inside and the prop actually still turns!!!

I left it where I found it, you have to remember that in Jersey the tide goes out about 1 to 2 miles (2-3Km) and in some places 5 miles (7Km) :shock: on a spring tide, this motor was at low tide :cry:
