Sling in the water: not the title of a famous Deep Purple song, but what happened to me this morning! A friend of mine came here, and we went for a walk at the beach. Full of people, full of girls. I also managed to have a picture with one of them but she told me she was already engaged, damn'it! By the way, we walked until we reached an isolated beach, a bay between two groups of rocks, and we begun slinging. He was slinging for the first time in his life and really enjoyed the sport; he's a knight in a re-enactment group and he teaches me something about swords whenever we have some free time. By the way, at a certain moment he released the knot, but the loop slipped out of his finger and... the whole sling, with the stone still inside the pouch, took off and landed on water! It suddenly sunk and resurfaced some minutes ago. I had a good bath in this cold water of March. By the way, we continued slinging after I recovered the sling, and the question is the following: how do you think salt water will interfere with the leather of which the sling is made?? It's a stupid question, because we continued slinging for the rest of the day - man, I also shoot at ducks, getting very close to them; I didn't really mean to kill them but I enjoyed the feeling of hunting! But do you think a bath in salt water may change some leather's properties?? Greetings and long live girls in bikini!! Mauro.
