Hey, Ozzy....6 years ago I used a Dinghy with a 4 hp to tow a 27 foot sailboat
off a dock that was on fire. The coast guard ordered me to stop the effort to
rescue the boat and I ignored them. I have pics of the huge fire taken
afterwards.

Yep, but that wasn't in the middle of a storm on a lee shore

Nope, but the point is that in less than 10 knots on the boat's beam, it was
VERY hard to get her off the pilings. In a storm it just wouldn't happen,
noway, nowhow, even with a 9.9hp.

Exactly, so Joes ridiculous comment that he'd jump in the dinghy and
tow off is just that...ridiculous, Might as well jump overboard with
an anchor around your neck.
