Katy is on the right track but a knot isn't,t the way to go. 5/8" is
kind of heavy to be heaving but a pipe wrench or some other handy
weighted object tied to the end will increase distance and accuracy.

I've used a boat fender to send a line across the water way in our
marina. I still used the two separate coils. The fender works well
because it doesn't sink and can be grabbed with a boat hook

Ah... I guess I was thinking you were throwing it to a person on
the dock or another boat, but I guess that would make some sense
either way.

That could also help the person trying to hold on to the rope.

fist....

It's one of the first things I have students find when the climb aboard
the keel boat... is the road attached to the boat. It isn't because I untie
it before they get there. It's a nice object lesson.

Depends on who's on the dock... I was thinking Nutsy...

Ok, ok, I meant the 'other person' to whom you are throwing the line, no
matter where they are.

sheesh

Do boaters in Mich. usually 'throw' their anchors overboard?
