A boat like that should have a 13ish foot RIB tender so they can simply anchor offshore a bit and take the entire-boat-is-a-fender, easy-to-find-dock-space-for, dinghy to the docks and easily squeeze into any available spot without any possibility of harming anyone else's boat. I'm amazed this is not a thing on the lake yet. We do it all the time from our boat in coastal ports. Hmmm, $500+ a night for a transient slip, or anchor and use the free dinghy dock, not a tough choice... Our RIB dinghy paid for itself in just one season of cruising and we have a blast ripping around in it near our home port.

Do you get a commission on every noodle sold?

No way 30" of noodle is making it around my waist!
FLL must be one of those 'skinny' folks! |

30" has enough flotation for almost everyone unless you weigh 250-lbs with a bmi of 20. These noodle belts are basically a three dollar swim buoyancy belt, good for learning to swim, or flotation security for swimming deep, rough, or cold water. It makes swimming the breast stroke or side stroke much more doable because the flotation is centered, and you don't use any swim movement energy to stay on top of the water, horizontally, so you can take your time and slowly swim a long distance without worry about drowning. With a $19.95 Stohlquist wet suit tee-shirt and a foam noodle flotation belt, swimming out there in the 65-degree cold water on a sunny day is okay to do if you really want to go there. You can stretch the summer swimming till the end of September, and then think about getting a farmer john wetsuit for 55-65 degree water ....... you sometimes surprise yourself with what you can do even in the cold water. Oopsie ....... so just picture yourself swimming off the back porch on your new Summa Humma 60' motor yacht, using a foam noodle, three dollar swim safe belt in that late September 65-degree water ...... no kidd'n! ...... just add a $3-noodle belt for swimming off your yacht!

Hahaha... If I had a choice, obviously I didn't, I would recommend the fly. But no one asked me.

I guess he didn't like a white hull. Hull was white when hauled out. Now it's taupe.
