Nest lesson for the owners; Why they have a long stick pointing up from the middle of the boat, and why so much white cloth lying around!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Makes ya wonder don't it? A couple of times my old diesel engine failed (my stupidity mainly)..not hard to fire up dinghy outboard and tow? Sadly there are many yachties that a lack a modicum of resourcefulness and common sense.
