Here’s why we don’t tow our dinghy in anything less than perfect weather. We were leaving Victoria, heading back to Friday Harbor one winter. About 4 miles outside the harbor, the wind picked up to the point the dinghy became airborne and flipped over. We immediately turn around and headed back dragging it up side down. We lost the gas can, oars and mat. Fortunately we had taken the outboard off. Other than losing stuff, the only real damage was to my ego as we came back docks, towing an upside down dinghy with before a rather large audience on the docks in front of the Empress Hotel.
