While in Pittsburgh, I picked up a ski tow rope as a modification to our “tree limb” boom swing. The Mark 2 version is much more befitting a lady (Iron Lady that is). The tow rope handle is much easier on the hands and the poly ski line floats making retrieval much easier.

While I was less adventurous, George gave it a go from the top deck.

The result was pretty impressive.

The floating tow rope is also good for trailing off the stern of the boat as a safety line for those in the water.

Pretty nice place to be on a hot day!
I am quite certain that we will also find the tow rope useful for dragging something behind the dink.
Cheers
Pete
