Sialingdog, your posts got a few gears turning, and I think that I have come up with a solution that we can all swallow. No trailer bouy, just simply detatch the end of the jsd from the boat when you're done, atatch a fender to the boat end, come about to weather, bow load the jsd under power to relieve the load on the drogue, and speed up the retrieval process. Or, if you're single handing, load from the cockpit after securing the fender like you would a mooring. If cockpit loading I would however aproach the fender slowly and while rerieving keep the drogue end about 10 to 15 feet off the beam to avoid fouling in the prop if excess slack ocours. "What say you to that?"
