Patrick,
You might want to reconsider putting “T/T Deep Playa” on your dinghy.
When that dink’s at a dinghy dock, it’ll be an advertisement to theives
that no-one’s home aboard the mothership. Why make it so easy for them
to ID your unguarded boat?Tor

John,
Are you on the Ortega River now? Isn’t that along the St. Johns River?
Silverheels and I have just returned to Green Cove Springs Marina for a
haul-out, etc.Tor

Tor,
Even though I think that T/T issue is mostly a “Cruiser Legend”, I agree it
doesn’t pay to advertise.IMO it is much easier for the thieves to move through the anchorage looking
for boats with a missing dinghy. They come along side and knock on the
hull. If no one answers they come on board. If some one answers they
shout, “Hey Mon (Senor), wanna buy some fish (lobster, coconuts, etc.)”.
Anyway that appears to be the way the small-time thieves in the Bahamas tend
to work. Even if they stake out the dinghy dock to ID a boat from the T/T
name, they still need a ruse if they discover not everyone went ashore in
the dinghy. The best protection (IMO) from thieves is to not have the most
attractive boat and dinghy in the anchorage. A brand-new outboard is a
“Steal Me” sign to the petty thieves, unless it is less than 10HP. I don’t
think a 2HP outboard has ever been stolen on purpose[?].Regards,
John Stevenson

I understand that in some states, a dink need not be registered if she is
marked T/T. This may be a myth since I’ve never found a state that complies
with this practice. IMHO, a dinghy name should complement the mothership.
This can be a challenge if you have a name that doesn’t lend itself to this
kind of thing.Rich

Rich you are correct, Washington is such a state. But the dinghy may ONLY be
used or transport from ship to shore, no fishing or crabbing for instance.-p

Owners no more...
Thanks Dawn and Patrick! -
Rich,
From the article, “What’s In a Name?”:
“Naming the dinghy, the ship’s tender, can invite even more creativity
than naming the boat. Some of the best dinks bear names that compliment
the mothership’s. A boat named Thunder would naturally tow a dinghy
named Lightnin’ (or Rumble or Thor). Pelican’s tender might be Bill. How
about Meringue and Foxtrot? Spring Fever and Summertime Blues? Windward
and Backward! Dinghy names are sometimes more fun simply because we
don’t tend to take them so seriously.”My last cruising boat’s name was Sparrow, with a Trinka dinghy named
Tailfeather.Tor

PO’s names: boat: S/V Magic Carpet and Tender: Rug Rat
Our boat: S/V Regina Oceani (queen of the ocean) so the tender should
be Harbor Princess (need to translate to Latin)Pete

Rich:-
That’s a federal rule, means Tender To – name of Mothership.
We tried that for a year in NYS. Mothership, Wavemaker, TT-Wakemaker,
Wavelet.Didn’t work.
In RI seems to work, except the fee is so cheap in RI it’s easier just to
comply.
