I finally listened to the old timer who warned me about the silt curtain

He told me 'the current will wrap it around your ladder like a boa constrictor if you don't secure it right.' Sure enough, on the Mobile River job last month, we lost half a day cutting a brand new curtain free after a tide shift. Anyone have a better method for anchoring those things in a strong current?

Mobile River currents are no joke, but losing half a day seems like a crew problem.

... half a day cutting it free? That's brutal, man, I'd have lost my mind.
