Selling boat rope is just another way to take boaters' money
A man very happy and proud of his
new boat carefully drove to the launch ramp along with his friend to have a
great day on the water. The blue skies,
the gentle breeze and the few harmless and beautiful clouds made it seem like a
perfect day. Together, they carefully and successfully positioned the boat in
the water and one man held it in place with the rub rail against the dock. The ecstatic boat owner parked his vehicle
and locked up before walking over to his new boat, stepping in and starting
it. His friend got in as well, pushed off
and they started off to explore surroundings they had only seen from the shore
before this trip.
The
trip was thoroughly enjoyable as they waved to other boaters, enjoyed the view
of homes along the water, saw what seemed like hundreds of boats in the slew of
Marina’s along the shore and the dozens of different types of boats on the
water, all while enjoying they’re new found excitement and the pleasant
conversation.
After
what seemed like minutes, friends of theirs asked them to come in and have
lunch with them at an extra slip next to theirs. When our new boaters arrived, they realized
they had no way of tying up – they had forgotten rope – They’re friends had two
extra lines and they were able to get semi-secure and have lunch while pushing
off the pilings so the new boat didn’t get damaged. Embarrassed and frustrated, they left the
marina to continue their journey.
As they
began to get tired, they saw an object in the water. They went to explore and found it was an old
board with what seemed like loads of nails sticking out of it. As one of the guys leaned over to get the
board, he fell in ( it happens ).
Fortunately, he was wearing a life jacket. By now you know the unfortunate thing. There was not a rope to be had on the
boat. After carefully moving the boat in
a position that worked, the men struggled to get the unintended swimmer
aboard. It finally worked and exhausted,
they headed home for the day.
Over
dinner, the novice boaters discussed the need for rope on a boat. Their list included dock lines, anchor lines
and floating rescue lines. They also
thought about the consequences they would have had if the marine police or
Coast Guard had boarded them. Lesson
learned, boats need rope.
Hopefully
none of the above or any other emergencies will happen to you. We hope we can help you with the information
and the products on the following pages.
Buy what you need now. Be safe
the next time you’re out on the water.
If you have any questions, let us know.
All the best, John

Buy it now
I used to sell cars and I hated it. One day a frustrated co-worker of mine told a customer who wanted to be left alone " Well, you didn't come in here to buy ice cream" Needless to say, the potential customer left.

What if someone took your boat?????????????????????
She is a 1971 Coronado C27, registration number CF 3209 EV. The name on the stern is MANTRA
No joke. I checked on her Sunday and today she is not where I left her. I have checked with the Coast Guard and I am filing a police report but I need eyes. If you are in the San Francisco Bay, Sacramento River, San Juaquin River, Napa River or Petaluma River areas please keep an eye out for this boat. If I am going to get her back I need you all to help me spread the word.
