The paradox of planing - the best illustration of planing is the skipping stone. Although the stone weighs much more than the volume of water it displaces, if it has the right shape and enough velocity, it wedges itself up on top of the water and planes. 53' 1961 Huckins Corinthian CASA MIA

#shorts Off grid living requires attention to detail. If a towing line breaks it could mean losing a very valuable piece of equipment for those living aboard a boat. Knowing a few basic knots turned a potential headache into a minor fix. Also, setting up a redundant system saved me from having to buy a new dinghy! My advice is ALWAYS have backup lines if you tow your dinghy. Also, I should have put in abrasion guards of some sort but I didn’t! Off grid living requires planning ahead. This was a clear example of just how important that is.
