I am a big guy so I use a big dinghy (No pictures of me in it)
I have taken along smaller inflatables but usually those I boat with will take it out.
Believe this was Larry who got pretty wet due to a leak in the boat. Sorry Larry!!
A buddy I have boated with almost died a few years back when the fiberglass dinghy he was in filled with water not far from shore. I believe it happened in December and water was frigid. I believe he actually went under a short distance from shore but someone had dove in to rescue him. Why I carry a life vest and use a multi chamber inflatable dinghy.
