So I attached it to the cleat and pulled him in.
Funny and fortunately not too dangerous, situation. At least I had a good laugh.

Thats almost too sad to be believable,,,
Its truly amazing that we dont see serious accidents every day with that kind of mistake as our new standard of boating preparation.
Some days it is frightening.
