In Response To: bucket (Jay Levy - Indianapolis, IN 5.2 #35)

But slowing a moving boat it will.... and that's what we were discussing, how to stop the bow from moving AFTER you have pointed it into the wind....

How one deploys it and gets it to be in the position is something I was not answering....

I do like Jennys beer ejector idea -- I just have little foam life preservers for them (coolees) -- but everytime I fish them out of the drink... they are a lot fuller than I remember them being ((and saltier too!)). MPK
