New rope

Got back to the mooring and moved the dinghy alongside ready to load it for the trip ashore.
Got all the gear into the cockpit and look - no dinghy just a frayed rope.
Luckily the strong breeze had blown the dinghy ashore by the slipway where it was quickly recovered.
After some calls on the vhf and some to-ing and fro-ing we were reunited.
The dinghy now sports a sturdier painter.
