Now, chuck that rope and I will bet you that it goes further and is able to be thrown with a lot more accuracy.

Well you just need an experience crew Adam. I know your usually driving the boat, so that pretty much takes you out of the equation. But having 10 drunk hot blondes on your boat as a crew is going to give you trouble anyway you slice it!

It gets harder to do when you have stalling, surging, staggered blower motors.

True! Not to mention when you have rows of boats sticking out randomly, like at Claudios.

Perhaps use a 3 lb block of ice in case you hit them in the head.
