Like a house dog that does not want to go for a brisk walk in the cold rain, Tardis was hooked up and towed reluctantly from Garretts to Hoskins... she desperately wanted to go on a tangent course so increasing the tow speed helped modify here attitude. We did 6.5 knots over the ground, helped by the last hour of the flood tide. After disconnecting tow lines, and attempting to move Tardis between docks, I lost contact with one of the poles and we found ourselves drifting powerless and helpless down Hoskins Creek without so much as a paddle! Fortunately Rockfish season is open and a kind angler used his 70 lb trolling motor to nudge us back to the dock and continue the docking process in the new lift.
