And you've spent all this time nattering on about Marinas and now you admit to anchoring off to avoid paying dockage and then sneaking into the dinghy dock?? More proof that you never go anywhere. If you were a real cruiser you would use dinghy docks regularly when anchored in distant harbors. What do YOU do? Haul your dinghy ashore on private property? Probably. Some dinghy docks charge a small fee and some are free - either way trying to change the subject about the stupidity of having long oars protruding over the ends or sides of a dinghy just won't cut the mustard. Wilbur Hubbard Err... What "distant harbours are you referring to? The places I anchor don't have "dinghy docks", they only have a beach. Private property? Whatever are you talking about, there is no one there but me. Ah Willie... the penny drops - you are talking about the coast of Florida. Not the far flung harbors and bays of the world. But I do suppose that reading books give one a bit of a restricted viewpoint. By the way, Willie-boy, the secret of not having your oars stick out of your dinghy isn't to cut the oars off, a much better solution is to build a longer dinghy. Oh, but I forgot, you lack the skills to built a dinghy so you buy a "rubber duck". Cheers, Bruce |
