What can YOU hold on to?

This sailor kept trying and trying to throw that rope around the bollard in the lock in the little Dutch harbour town of Stavoren. All attempts in vain. Finally he jumped off the boat and tied the boat from the quay. Still cheerful :-)

Here you can see the rear side of the boat (called: 'Vrede', means 'Peace') saling in to the lock: https://365project.org/stimuloog/made-by-stimulo/2017-08-21

He must have sworn seeing you taking shots of his missed tries. Beautiful capture and timing.

@sangwann Thanksfor your nice comment! Haha, no he didn't see me. I stood far, using my 18-105 mm lens.

He looks like he's letting go of the ropes end, so he'd never snag a bollard!!!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Haha, yes, cleverly seen.

[carol white]

Great timing, a super capture

[JackieR]

Love how you have caught that coiled rope mid air!!! Also, I'm rubbish at snagging mooring bollards and let go of rope in error

[Peter H]

Very nice. Poor chap, trying to do that with everyone watching!

[Helen Jane]

Great freeze on the rope there. Wouldn't have a clue how to do this myself.

[Rob Z]

Great sense of movement!
