Actually, it's a good idea for anyone who singlehands, especially alone, to
trail a line with some sort of float attached in case you get knocked
overboard. This is especially true if you venture outside an inlet.

Jeff sails staring at his compass. His radio, especially in a busy harbor
is
making a constant racket as 100 pleasure boats hail eachother for beer and
fishing tips. He trails a line behind his boat to constantly remind him,
and
anyone else, that his boat doesn't sail a straight line.

Sounds fun!!!
