Getting to your anchored boat or dinghy?
I have to have my little boat secured to a mooring or anchored quite a distance away from the shore. Besides swimming, what other contraptions are out there to get to the dinghy, or to bring the dinghy to me?
I’m hoping there are some creative products out there that don’t mean I have to rely on another person being available to hitch a ride with. Like the pumpabike (but something else). The pulley system looks best so far. If I by a tender dinghy for my tender dinghy then I will have to anchor that too and won’t be able to get to either!

Do You think I need a dinghy and if so where do I put it?
I dont know if I should get a dinghy. I just got a 25 foot O’day sailboat and Im not sure if I nee a dinghy. Im not on a mooring but I might be someday. If I did get a dingh I dont know where to put it. what do poeple do when they dont have room to store it onboard. I have heard of tying it in back but wouldnt that mess up the steering and mack the boat go slower also. I dont know. Also If I should get a dinghy what kind is good. I will be with my family ostsly on the boat so a dingh for 4 people or more.
Thanks
