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!

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.
