Dinghy docks


Using the dinghy as your car is a bit of a challenge. First, there's the challenge of making it across the rough water on your way into the docks and then second, is to find a parking place when you get there. Most of the time this isn’t too hard to do but the other day I had a 10 minute wait because all of the dock space was filled! The dock space is limited here and almost everyone has a larger dinghy’s than we do. The first time that we came ashore at Key West, we found a place in the back to park. By the time we had returned (a few hours later), a much larger dinghy had parked across the fairway and blocked us in. We had to pull our way out by going under the docks, shoving others aside and working our way back to clear water. As you can see, with dinghies like this beauty, the available space gets taken up rather fast!

  1. Ah, so size does matter, bigger vessel means bigger dingy and the RIGHT to tie up anyway you can!
