How NOT to Tow or Raft a Boat that has no Engine.

 This Sail boat has no engine, and they had enlisted four small craft to tow/raft them some way down the coast to St Marys. We came out at 8am, this Wednesday morning, to find this going down, just off the bow of our boat, as you can see. The boat to the left is supposed to be towning (pulling) the yacht. There are two small boats on the starb'd side and the black one on the port side.
We watched in horror as the lead boat wove its way all over the place, while who knew what the other boats were supposed to be doing. IF they had been attached to the yacht properly, they would easily have rafted the yacht to it's new home without much effort. Pushing where necessary.The lead boat was redundant and causing all kinds of issues. Well meaning, no doubt, but we wished there had been someone on board who knew how to do this properly, for their own safetly.

They were headed for the marshes at one stage, and I honestly thought the lead boat was going to plow them through. What a nightmare...they just didn't know it. I guess they got to their destination ok!:)
