Re: [Paddlewise] Source for polypropylene line or rope

   You could also try Northwest River Supply in your area, or Nantahala Outdoor Center.  Both sell ropes specifically for throwbags in various lengths.
   Yes, definitely the rope should float (many good reasons for this).  I have no good idea what the conditions may be, but there are throwbags (and cordage available) containing either dynamic or static ropes -- i.e. they either stretch or they don't.  Stretch is best for rescuing a person, static best for pulling on a boat.  I believe the specs listed by either company will include this information.
