G'Day Michael,

How about getting kayakers and small fishing boats away from rocks, cliff
faces or out of failed gauntlets? I've seen and heard about that happening
as many times as people needing a tow in free water where you can get right
up to the boat. Do the US regulations require a throw line per boat or just
one per group?

All the best, PeterO
