Thanks Bill,
That is the technique I was shown and subsequently used myself. Not quite 20 years ago but not too far off.
This is what I was I was referring to in my thread starter.
I was hoping it may have evolved over time but instead it appears to have been almost forgotten.
One of the nice aspects of using this technique is that it easy to release the float ball. It also does not tire your arms out.
I was thinking someone may have commercialized the idea. Probably not enough users though.
When I do the Bahama trip next spring, I will try again.
Regards,
Mike.
