hi there all. well i guess thats the reason not to tow a dinghy!!!
got caught in that wind today about 1 mile south of lion island in my 22 foot. the dinghy had the paddle board strapped on top.that wind just picked it all up and was tossing it round. that on top of the swell and the 6hp totahtsu against the wind made for a trying time. sadly had to let the dinghy go. the board and the dinghy are only a few months old. dinghy is a aqua pro, one of those inflatables from whitworths. board is a green hawaii thingy about 10 foot.
If anyone finds it, id be stoked!
reward offered.
Thanks and i hope everyones safe!
