For now I got one of those sport/'tourist' wallets you carry
around you waist. The little bag easily contains the line,
bouyancy for ditto, bouyancy for the belt - and there is a quicl
release on the belt like on a pair of over-alls.

I'll keep that in mind.

Then your fellow paddlers should all know what to do when the
tug capsizes - but no doubt it will work.! Maybe that was
something to train as a general addition to the towing training.
