As president pulled Kildare
out of Cosgrove lock on
"Cross straps" one of the crew
was kneeling on the counter of
President trying to pull Kildare
closer so he could rearrange the
straps. I think it was more luck
than skill that he wasn't ether
pulled off the stern under the
butty, or trapped his hands
between the strap and the
butty stem post.
No command was given to
the driver to ease off to allow
the butty to catch up to do
this, in fact he was accelerating
putting even more tension
on the straps and strain on
Kildare's fore stud..
