On my 28' sailboat, there is not a lot of room and the most likely
place would be alongside the lifelines inside the shrouds. However,
that would block a lot of light going into the window and block some
ventilation as well.
Daughter had an interesting idea, "hang it over the side". She
suggested putting tubular webbing straps around it and hanging it over
the side from the toe rail. Not sure what to think of this.

Don't you think it might bang a bit if you encounter wind/waves?

Cut the portaboat into small pieces and then when you need it, duct tape
them back together.

Bad idea. It'll get knocked off in seas, or cause other havoc.
To answer your question, you should look around and see where 280' foot
boats store their 100' dingies.
That's just a quick decimal thing I did, but you understand.
"I think we need a bigger boat."
Or maybe a dingy that makes sense for the boat you have.

Here's the answer to your problems.

It's even got rod holders. Tie it to the stern and haul away.

Haven't seen you out at the launch ramps here or at Deale or down at
Solomons, herring...surely you are not fishing in the potomac near where
you launch, just downstream of the sewage treatment plant...

Conservatives - just pretend Obama's health care legislation is another
unnecessary war and you'll feel better about it.

Don't give it another thought. Your boat does heal doesn't it? And I'll
bet you even bury the toe rail occasionally. I can't even visualize what
might happen to the portaboat dangling off the side.

When they did the renovation of Blue Plains(70s), they had the
director on TV saying his discharge water was cleaner than the river,
then he scooped up a glass and drank it.
I know the river did get better.
If I was going out of Ft Washington I would worry more about the
septic tanks in PG county than the sewer plant.

Actually I launch upstream of the plant. But you're right, the water coming from
the plant is much cleaner than the water coming from the Susquehanna and other
rivers flowing into the bay. Fecal matter in the water keeps many of the
Chesapeake beaches closed for half the summer.

Oh, and BTW, I don't respond to Harry who is doing little more than trolling. I
put him in the same class as nincdepoop and jps - maybe down a couple notches.

But, if you condone their behavior, then help yourself.

1. It doesn't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime...
2. The check is in the mail...
3. The water exiting the Blue Plains sewage treatment plant is so clean,
you can drink it...
4. There's no sewage pouring into the Potomac from the Blue Plains
sewage treatment plant...
5. Therefore, just downstream of the Blue Plains sewage treatment plant
is a great place to fish...
6. White man does not speaketh out of both sides of mouth...

(That last one was for you, since you are always stretching for some
sort of "moral equivalency." :) )

Herring tries so hard...but like everything else in his life, he fails
at usenet cop'ing, too.

If Herring is launching upstream of the sewage plant, he is either
launching at the national airport site on the potomac...or somewhere on
the anacostia, which seems unlikely, given his fear of darker-skinned
Americans.
