Hi! My kids and I had just picked up Boatie Two from Melvin Village when we found a fellow boater and six of his compadres sans power just outside our cove (Hanson) today. We towed them over to between Sparkle Is. and Moultonborough Neck (read: redoubling our route). Temps were chilly and there was a brisk wind, but everything went fine.

My question: we used a ski tow rope tied to my left (looking from behind) pontoon hoop and stayed around 8 MPH outside of NWZs. It worked, but am interested in any thoughts on what I could have done differently.

Thanks!
