Special Thanks

I think you guys did a nice job hopefully this rope will hang there now for many years. BTW.
PMI makes reinforced sleeve protectors that have Velcro seam along its side, I think it is 3 ft long. The ends have loops to attach via very short chainlink variation of prussik leash to the rope. If there are any other sharp corners I think it could make the next service mission more comfortable.

I looked at the product you mentioned on the PMI website. I also noticed this thing, which might be even better. I will try to get a sample to test.

I think you guys are on the same page, you're both talking about sliding hose on a rope above ground. After the hose is on the rope, install the rope, just like it looks was done this time.

If gschaut wasn't talking about doing it above water, I gotta say he's a brave man for trying to get a ladder truck into Cow.-Jon

Sorry. Yes, I was presuming that this is a pre-fab above ground. Thought you had taken a knotted survey line topside, and fabricated the rope based on the survey line.

I would LOVE to offer any assistance I can, if you are going to replace the worn line.

p.s.- if the hose sections are slid loosely over the rope above ground, I know a few knots that can be tied quickly in the middle of a tightly strung rope to act as "keepers" for the hose sections.
