[PUP] Med Bound 2007 Noon Report - June 21: Paravanes down

[John Harris]

Milt,

I suggest a few changes for deploying your paravanes. 1. Slow the boat to 
near idle - 2 or 3 knots;  2. Let out enough fetch cable to allow the loop 
in the cable to just touch the water, i.e. most of what you will need; 3. 
Pitch the fish in the water and let the tow cable take most of the shock and 
load not the fetch cable, - there is no need to orient the fish - that will 
happen all on its own,  4. Let out enough additional fetch cable to allow 
some slack in the fetch cable.  5. Return to normal cursing speed for best 
stability.

Thank you for the great logs - we are enjoying them.
