Power & Motoryacht – June 2017

Man’s Best Mate

Michael Peters loves dogs (Sightlines, April 2017). Coming

from Seattle I know dogs. Seattle, like a number of cities, has

more dogs than kids. One might wonder why? Could it be that

a dog will love you no matter how you treat it? Could it be that a

“trained” dog will obey you without question? Does an uncon-

ditionally loving, obedient dog provide a convenient substitute

for the diffi cult job of learning how to get along with our fellow

humans?

Bellevue, Washington

We cruise Maine with our yellow Labrador. We always attach an in-

expensive water-activated strobe to his collar. Why? We almost lost

the dog at night in a dog overboard situation! It was a potentially

very serious situation that ended happily!

Tender Davit Love

Aft er reading (Tame Your Tender, March 2017) I wanted to let

your readers know that I bought a Hurley Marine Davit H3O

and it’s amazing! I can put my Sea Doo Spark or any other

dinghy on the back of my boat without help. Every time I pull

it on the boat everyone watches. And their customer service is

top notch; if I ever have a question I call and the owner of the

company, Todd Hurley, answers. One time my son dropped the

remote for the power winch in the water and it sank to the bot-

tom. I called and he had one out to me the next day.

Palm Beach Collision

Th at’s actually me in your video (pmymag.com/collision) on the

48-foot Fairline. I’m in the red shirt walking up to inspect the

damage. It was minimal. I felt bad because I yelled at the poor

guy. He seemed like a novice and shouldn’t have been put in the

position of moving in tight quarters around brand-new boats. I

think the problem was he had the wheel hard over to port and

didn’t know it and then got confused when the boat wouldn’t

respond correctly.

Path Less Traveled

Great job by Simon Murray and Capt. Pike (A World Apart, April

2017) on their St. John’s River adventures. I’ve boated there for

four years now aboard my 1985, 36-foot Egg Harbor during the

winter months. Th ese are the type of articles I enjoy most. Hope to

see more of this type of reporting and thanks again.
