Launching the Dinghy from the roof

[Stella Maris]

We launched the dinghy from the roof this afternoon using the block and tackle set up that I purchased. It was very easy with the rollers and line. Retrieval was even easier. I raised it from the roof out of the water stopping with the ends of the tubes just out of the water. Maureen then took the cockpit shower and rinsed it with fresh water. Once I got it to the edge of the roof, I just grab the bow handle and pulled it the rest of the way up. In all it took about five minutes to launch and ten to retrieve.

Hi David,
I would love to see some pics of that in action.

Thanks

Cliff,
Next week when we are back aboard, I will get some pictures. After we had it all put away, Maureen said, "you should have taken pictures".....
