Actually Andy wasn't around but I must tell you that since I posted Andy's reel on SB
(http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?t=91470&page=5&pp=10)
I have myself fouled a reel, Yes I admit it. I was showing Scubafool how to use a spool (yes you read it correctly - a spool) In particular how to secure the spool without the luxury of using the clip. I first demonstrated the clip use and then demonstrated the correct way to secure the spool without the clip. I further went on to demonstrate why we do it that way by showing the incorrect way of securing the spool without the clip. And then WHAMO the demonstration proved why we don't do it that way as the spool became entangled in a strange knot!.
Andy's curse was reaching out in revenge
So I humbly in fairness to Andy bring this story to you with my sincere appologies and a warning of Andy's outreaching curse.
Further to this I would like to say that I enjoyed working with Andy and Dave(scubafool) doing the intro to cave class.
PS The curse was defeated in the end and we did intrusted our lives to Andy's reel work on a few of the dives.
Dave and Andy Thank you and I hope to be diving with you again soon. Andy keep the reel straight and Dave I wish all my students have your attitude
