The dunk and kick still works for me but having an additional totally ungraceful way to enter a dinghy is never a bad thing. Rita It is better to be happy than it is to be right

One of the things we test near the big boat is that we can still get back in the dingy but the last few years we've had fins on, that helps. Not a problem if there is a beach close but somewhere like the caves at Norman those of us that seems to be aging/gravity challenged it's not a sure thing. Life involves risks, take some prudent ones (NOT with the BVI ferries)!
