Dan buoys
The weather was fair and the high winds had subsided this WE so we did
some offshore MOB drills. Threw the Dan buoy over and the damn thing
nearly sank! I could not see any defect in the float. Just a warning,
your Dan buoy may be near useless so test it! Bought a new one ~80 USD.
How many here have them I wonder -they really are essential off shore kit.
Then my partner mader her first docking (on the second try). This is
impressive because the 40' long dock is only 3' wider than the boat so
it really takes some fine judgement. We did not even touch the side!
Cheers MC
