Rob,

I have a great deal of respect for you and have enjoyed reading and watching your tutorials. Your tips are invaluable.

I will offer one example of how deck lines have helped me. On both my wife's kayak and mine I installed deck lines. When we were down in Florida she got into a condition she could not paddle or see well (she was slightly disabled at the time from complications of diabetes).

I was able to link up my deck line with hers and tow her around. The end result was she enjoyed our little outing.

Mac

Mac, thank you for your kind comments.

I respect your choice and positive experience with perimeter deck lines.

I carry a tow belt which allows a quick disconnect in case of entanglement.

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
