Finally, a use for an umbrella on a boat!

I did exactly the same when I had to repair a POS Selden furler 1,000 miles out into the Atlantic.

you could also position your dingy in front of your boat moored to the jetty to catch anything you drop

 

[Wansworth]

Lost my specs over the bow…….dropped the lead line so diver could orientate his serach. Lead line landed almost on top of the specs!

Wheelbarrows are hard to justify!

That reminds of a question about how UK/EU boat do owners carry heavy items like bans of fuel down the jetty to your boat do your marina provide trollies or wheelbarrows

That's what 'boatbums' and teenagers are for....

But 'boat Bums' and teenagers are either too lazy or require paying a lot of money for little effort

Most UK marinas provide trolleys.

Use at high water!

Works well for me. The difficult bit was finding a big clear brolly.

So how do you bend it around the sharp bit of the bow? Or do you have a mini transat with a scow bow?

Some of use are capable of manouvering the craft alongside the fuel pontoon & filling with the hose- where available.

You were not supposed to drop the lead line as well. Only the weighted bit. You were supposed to hang on to the line.

The bow of my boat is similar to the one shown and if I moor bow in I would just move my boat aft a bit so my rigid dingy will fit between jetty and bow,

If I moor stern in there is plenty of room in from of my boat and I can stand in my dingy to do any work on the bow

You are lucky to have a fuel pontoon. The one we had at my old marina was closed due to leaking tanks polluting the marina.

When we generally arrive from home, we have stores for the month visit plus cloths for the month.

Easy with a trolley when my mooring was 1/2 a km from the car park

We have a little fold up trolley from the Chinese shop. Does the trick.

I have a folding sack truck that I purchased from SIBS last I was in the UK 2009

I bought a little bike trolley ( recommended by someone on here?) which can be used with a handle standalone. Having said that, I’ve only used it once.

If that's intentional, it's very clever. A lead is pendant, at least while the lead line is tensioned and before the lead touches the bottom.

As you can see, I'm a pedant. Maybe like Daydream Believer.
