One of the items that was purchased new was a dive ladder that mounted on the side of a 32ft. Le Claire seiner. After the project finished and everything was sold off at rock bottom prices, the new boat owner had no use for the ladder. The ladder sat on the dock for months until some unknown person got sick and tired of walking around it and pitched it over the side. It had been underwater for 6 - 8 months until today.
My buddy Herb came along for the adventure in the Harbor. We were planning to float it and walk it down the dock, but thought we could just put a couple bags on it, and then bottom walk it to Diver_Dives boat and then float it just as easy.
Here's a picture of Herb getting the bags situated:
Trying to swim it, wasn't an option, but bottom walking is easier when dragging a load. It only took 15 minutes to go the 100 yards or so we had to cover.
Of course, bottom walking only kicks up a "little bit" of silt.....
Once we got it to the surface we found that there was no room for it on Dave's boat, except of course for right in front of the door!! ha ha
