we flew to Exmouth, and because the airline has weight restrictions we couldn’t take
some stuff with us. One item that we thought we would need was a drogue or sea anchor,
to slow the rate of drift whilst fishing from the boat. So the GILLS-N-THRILLS R&D team
procured the raw materials, a 6’X4’ blue tarp, a length of rope, 4 small floats for the top
and 6 lead sinkers for the bottom, and made one in the lounge room of our unit after dinner.
This photo shows the finished article, deployed and working well,
on the port side of our hire dinghy.
