When parking our dingy, we like to pull it fairly high up on the beach, but when the tide goes out, it can be a long haul to take it back to the water before we're able to row out to our liveaboard sailboat home. When we don't put an outboard motor on the dingy, we can drag it back to the water fairly quickly. On this day in Sansimion, after having some wine at the Hearst Winery, we had some fun with it.
