No matter how good you think you are, there is something about the water that will cause you to make stupid mistakes. Happened to me yesterday when I was in a hurry to get off the dinghy. Did not tie up properly and before I knew it, the dinghy was floating away. No worries. One of the people on the dock quickly jumped in and with the painter line in his teeth (like JFK in PT 109) he towed the dinghy back for me to, this time, tie it down properly. Thanks to Keith and his wonderful crew from St. Louis, home of the Blues, former Stanley Cup hockey champs.
