Where to put a 10' porta-bote?
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? -- Nom=de=Plume |

Cut the portaboat into small pieces and then when you need it, duct tape them back together. -- http://tinyurl.com/ykxp2ym |

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. Jim - Starting to wonder about my fellow Floridian. |

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. |

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. 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. -- http://tinyurl.com/ykxp2ym |
