Oria/Cuba 2001 - Oria - Rope Dragging


See also my Cuba 2000 page

After the overnight stay in Rodney Bay, we used but the main Genoa for some smooth sailing to Marigot Bay. Halfway, Skipper Joe tied one end of a rope to the stern and threw the other end out. He told us to jump in, hold on to the rope and let ourselves be dragged by the Oria. When we missed it, he'd circumnavigate us with the boat and pick us up again. That was a lot of fun
