I don't think a line around anything once would be a 2:1 purchase.

Geez. Is it too early in the morning over there? You're supposed
to be inside the bight!

Mind you, i still don't think it's likely to work, and my
solution is the best.

Sorry, but you can't do it. You don't need to drown yourself to prove
it. You can't do it at 4.5 knots unless that's your SOG and there is
about a 3 knot or better current flowing with you and the boat.

Bill, all you have to do is kick your legs behind you and get your body up a
bit. I'll show you this summer. I can actually do it at faster than 4.5 knots.

Pulling yourself back to the boat with the aid of a surfboard,
seatcushion, or an innertube does not even remotely count.


Even if permanenty affixed to the body?
