Do people not use a painter that floats? I thought the reason for that was so that it didn't get into the prop. A towed dinghy can be a problem in other ways. We went into Hilton Head (only once because the tide was so great that we couldn't get out again until high tide) and one of the boats waiting to come in to a dock was towing their dinghy. The wake of a power boat pushed the dinghy under their swim step and punctured it. It could not be repaired. _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
