[Rhodes22-list] a dinghy question

[Joe Babb]

Have any of you ever towed a hard dinghy behind a Rhodes?  I've been 
thinking about a Walker Bay 8 foot dinghy for when we
go on week long cruises either on the Florida or North Carolina coasts.  
I've played around with an inflatable Coleman 3 person dinghy on Douglas 
Lake and it seems like it would be difficult to carry two people in it 
without getting wet or turning over.
But I'm not sure exactly how much I would use a dinghy on a week long 
trip either.  We didn't feel the need for one on Albemarle Sound last 
spring, but I keep thinking we will inevitably run into a situation 
where it's best to anchor out and dinghy in.  Just not sure it's worth 
towing a dinghy for several days on the odd chance of needing it once.
We're planning a trip to the Big Bend area of Florida and also a trip to 
Ocracoke next spring.  Still need to find a good jumping off place for 
the cruise to Ocracoke.
Any thoughts on the subject besides Ed telling me to search the archives 
will be appreciated.
Best,
Joe
