If you have a Schiffswinsch, almost looks like a steering wheel, there appears to slow the slope, which is littered with old debris, but they are not so interesting, honest, the fish that hide in these. The slope goes up to about 3m, so you have a very entertaining safety or deco stop making ever after.
