Listening to the cruiser's net this morning a boat announced that they had snagged a runaway dinghy. Sian stuck her head out to check if it was ours - and of course it was!
We are tucked against a cay that is good for last night's NE breeze (which wasn't gusting more than 18 knots or so). We always double bag our dinghy at night. Four or five turns on a cleat and then we bring a yellow nylon tow rope on board and tie it to a cockpit strut with a turn and three half hitches, looser that the dinghy painter. Dinghy has sat there through much worse than last night.
Just shows to go you, things happen!
Dinghy is getting delivered in a short while in return for a bottle of Kim Crawford!
