Default Soul searching about a sailor in trouble

I took a yacht through the Canal du Midi in France some years ago. People go
through with tyres all round the boat since you never know how many barges
etc they are going to cram into the locks with you.
When you get to the other end you just leave the tyres on the quayside for
someone who is going the other way. Good system, works well.


That sounds like a good system. I certainly wouldn't want to stow
things that big unless I was likely to need them regularly.
