my theory is that the whole "sports" thing is a cover, invented to make the
embracing part more socially acceptable.

Personally, I have a great deal of trouble tolerating any people
who embrace goats for sport.

Perhaps I should have posed the photo. The photo does look a bit
like there's one super long line (long enough to waterski with!)
but that's optical illusion: there is a spare tether attahced to
the rudder-post beam which appears to be a continuation of the
tether I'm wearing but isn't. The tether I'm wearing is attached
to a strong point about 6inchs abaft an a foot below the turning
block in the foreground. Tether lengths are only 1.5m. The
strong point is a 1" ply hull/deck plate anchoring a U-bolt with
giant washers and a spreader plate.

Well, now that I think about it, people covering their goats is
beyond objectionable and into realms pornographic.

I come from a long-lived line, so I'll bring the marshmallows.

I give up. I can't get onto the website either. Perhaps
thousands of lurkers rushed the photo and used up my daily
download allowance. I'll try and put it up in webshots
now....sheesh...
