its not a minor matter. How would the owner get ashore. Can a new one be bought in Scilly or that one be repaired there.
That could be a holiday spoilt.

I dont know i would want to go ashore with that lurking in the sea. There was a dolphin which stayed around our moorings
for a couple of weeks all very nice until it decided that it was good fun to ram dinghys from below . all very disconcerting
especially as it was bigger than my dinghy. These are wild animals and need to be treated as such. Nick

Happened to me once. Dinghy got damaged on a delivery positioning trip. Long before the Internet.
Bought a replacement. Boxed it up courier delivery to the Ferryboat at Dittisham. Back in the days when you had to wait for the pub to open at 5.30pm (I arrived at 4.00pm)
