Boat Sinking?????

[Rattlesnake Guy]

WKENDER, you will always have a spot on our boat in an emergency.

When you were describing the scene of approaching the boat in the rough surf I was thinking the same thing. How the heck to get the people across. I am sure that having life vest on make the options a lot more favorable.

Nice job.

I have never been one that has considered or thought to much about attaching a line to my throwable.... However after reading the last few post I believe that will be job one next year. I don't often venture out in real rough weather... however I have been caught once or twice.... but I now see the light, the wieght of the throwable will make the line more throwable.... and it will make it easier to recover someone if I ever need to throw, the throwable. This leads to a question however.... How long of a line to attach to one of my throwables?????

Wkender, as others have said well done.... I hope you or someone like you is around if I ever run into a problem....

You can buy or make a "Throw-bag" easily enough. I keep a square throwable PFD near my helm and would probably tie one of my dock lines to it before tossing this to someone in the water.

I do have a "Throw-bag" but it's fairly light and needs practice to use accuratly, but it's a fun game to play with kids.

LIforrelaxin -- although we do not have a line "attached" to a throwable -- we have a 50' line, neatly wrapped and easily accessible from our front walkway storage locker (bowrider). Although I admit it was placed there for easy access in needs such as towing -- I now have put a mental plan in place that it could easily & quickly be tied to a throwable PFD.
