But don't identify the dink with the name of the boat it belongs to, as that is a good way for thieves to identify which boats may be unattended. And if they steal your
dinghy, and row up to your boat, very few people will question that they're breaking into your boat or taking stuff off of it...

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
