Explanation:
Ani tie srnky v Kunerade sa tentoraz nechytia, pán kolega. Toto je preklad výrazu swing ropes, ale či sú to tie vaše swings, to skutočne netuším.

Notes to answerer
Asker: "asnaj ani né" - ide o to že sa to na palube chystá na prevzatie nákladu z prichádzajúceho člna - a tam sa na paulbu musia veci nejako vytiahnuť. Preto ten kladkostroj (ručný) resp. pobrazy s kladkami. Ale inak vďaka za ponoc - ono ten originál texu pochádza z pomerné dávnych čias takže je to komplikované sa niečoho dopátrať. Dušo.
