Default Towing Dinghy?

Loki is the boat; Molly is the dog.

Molly will try to go where we lead, but she does hesitate. We found the
lifejacket, which has a big handle on it, makes things easy - when she feels you
lift with the handle she knows she's going.

For swimming, we started using the float to give her easy access both up and
down. Its funny, even though she's a Portuguese Water Dog, she prefers the
float to actually swimming. Maybe this year she'll do better - we're told it
really takes a few years to learn how to swim efficiently.

Jeff,
Does Loki go up and down the stern ladder without prodding or do you have to
use an incentive? Chopper will go up fine, but the down trip usually
involves a leap at the last minute, which can be quite unsettling (65 lbs of
dog into the middle of a tippy dinghy...).
