Yeah, the yellow crap. Floats. I hate it.

But it does have a useful purpose. The plastic, floating, brightly
colored
line is recommended (or maybe even required) for use with a life ring or
other mob floatation device.

Or as a waterski tow line.

Yeah, but not as docking line. If rope's not heavy enough to throw, it's
useless. Sometimes, you can simply drop that plastic crap and it'll defy
gravity & land in the wrong place. Too light & springy.

My emergency throw bag has a braided poly rope and I can personally
speak to the effectiveness of having floating rope on a throw bag.

Right, but that's not your everyday rope, now is it, Mr Smarty? :-)

Well, I guess not.

Oh and thanks for the compliment - I am pretty damn smart.

Later,
