From the "This Has to Sting" files- 2013 Edition

"And we took off with a gust..."
                  -The Playmates


      The Dock Six Sail Rescue Squad's  newest members strut their stuff.




Frank And Lorraine, aboard their Northern 24, towed in a hapless and helpless Bayliner.  



      Bonus points for completing a portion of the tow under sail.


       The Sailpast of Shame is humiliating enough for most boaters...to be  at the end of a sailboat-tugged string is  just  lemon juice in the dead-in-the-water wound.



Yep- looking happy,

 




Nice work, Frank and Lorraine- welcome to the Dock!






"Talk the Dock!"

  3. Stick boaters arise! We are the reliable ones. Keep the stinkpots humble. And do it for $1.00 in gas if necessary. Of course if it was a Sea Ray, they would have called the coast guard.
