No one will ever tell you this. Some of the best places to explore up here can only be accessed using a stern tie. Your going to find that single handed stern ties become second nature. I do stern ties all the time up here and quite often single handing with no real problems. The advice you have been gives here is all very good.

I have a permanently mounted 500' sternline on a spool. You will find that this setup is very common on boats up here. It makes life a lot easier but is not a real necessity if you only do it once in a while. You should use floating line.

Have a good trip, Steve
