    Default Seafaring gear found in your garage,

    I was in my garage sorting out the accumulated rubbish from over several years, . last week and found a Log spinner and the wheel, I didn't know I had them , must have found their way into my bag off some ship.
    Also three anchor lights, a two gallon fire extinguisher, two lifebuoys , four anchors, a Steering wheel, two hand held brass lamps and a Turtle shell. An assortment of shackles, and needles and palms,
    Has anyone else found anything in their garage??
    How did all those get in there. ??? I have not got a clue.

    Surely if you shoved the anchor up your jumper , the flukes would give you two forward promentaries and suspicious appearance

    Just been back in garage sorting it out.
    I have found a box with brass gauges from pump room? ER ? A brass plate with Engine Movements on, A Chronometer, just wound it up and it works. A coil of blue nylon rope, A helmet I took from a dead French Foreign Legionnaire, in the rescue in Viet Nam, he didn't need it any more , I did, thanks.
    Amazing what is hidden in garages , especially one as chaotic as mine.
    I think I will open a ship chandlers shop.
