[PUP] Dinghy Wheels

[MischkaCEM at aol.com]

Scott, having spent three seasons on the Pacific Coast of Mexico and a  long 
one in the Caribbean we came to appreciate that your dinghy is the  most 
important piece of gear aboard, and wheels are a definite necessity unless  you are 
a Charles Atlas type.  Safer landings, safer launchings and being  able to 
bring the dinghy up far beyond the surf line, these are three important  
considerations plus the fact that most Mexico cruisers anchor away from Marinas  and 
go shore on sandy beaches with SURF. Dinghy landing in the surf is an  
art...the sport is getting ashore and watching your compatriots land. Rating  systems 
are encouraged ala swim meets and gymnastics...waders in the type water  help 
is appreciated by novices and pros alike. We all have to start somewhere  and 
you are heading for a great adventure and experience. We never felt the need  
to lock the dinghy on remote beaches, always lifted AND secured it at night  
after losing one of our pair off Isla Isabella, and very much appreciate the  
dinghy valet at the main landing beach in Z-Town.
