We watched the short double like a hawk, and made sure it rode in a spot in the wake where turning turtle was not likely. It was nerve-wracking as hell. We hoped that the towline would part if it did, before the boat got destroyed by the forces. I would not tow at a greater speed, and I would not tow on exposed waters. Even the 2-3-foot chop on the ICW presented some challenges. Not to mention the occasional boat wake from a power cruiser. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
