Default Retrieving an overboard part

ANY ideas to get it sooner?


Okay, you're going to need two heavy concrete blocks, some duct tape, a
piece of rope, and Wilbur Hubbard. Duct tape the blocks securely to Wilbur's
feet and instruct him to tie the rope to the furling drum when he gets down
there. Hand Wilbur the rope, toss him overboard, and then report back here
for kudos on a job well done. Oh, and if your drum hasn't drifted too far
downstream, you can retrieve it with a pool net.
