We did a bunch of these "What is it" polls last year and everyone seemed to have fun with them. So, I thought I'd post another one just for fun!

Take a look at the picture below and then try to guess what it is. I will post the answer some time late next week.

This object is approximately 42 inches tall and made mostly of wood.

I'm very sure to have the right thing this time. Actually, I thought it was obvious. Therefore I won't say for what I voted and why

Hey, imagine my face if it turned out I were wrong

I voted too! I like Chrissi think it may be obvious but then I may be totally wrong!!

I don't know what it is but guessed it's an antique wooden capstan, because it looks like it's on a sailing boat.

You and me both.

And this will make the two of us win a pony, you just wait and see.

David -

Daaaaa - viiiiiiiiiiid!

Come and tell us. And then hand out the ponies. You know what happens otherwise, LOL

Ooops! I forgot all about it! *blush*

Okay. The answer is......................................

Be Patient!

Wait for it........

A capstan!

Handspikes were inserted into the holes, it was then turned to bring up the anchor or move other heavy objects.

I'm not handing out ponies this time. And we won't be sending and receiving any RABBITS either... (Chrissi!

).... instead I will hand out lambs from Ennis and Jack!

So, it looks like three people answered the question correctly.

Therefore......

(Don't you love all this formality/!!)

Chrissi gets a lamb from Ennis and Jack.......

Kerry gets a lamb from Ennis and Jack.........

And Kelda gets a lamb from Ennis and Jack.........

Now I've posted a new game! Go take a look at it, and I promise I won't forget about it this time!

Yeehaw! I voted for capstan! But, I didn't make a post about it.

I like these games David!
