I always have a rescue rope on my boat, this weekend I learned a few things about it. One, you can throw it farther if it is wet. I have a hundred foot, 900 lb strength rope but unless it is wet I can only throw it about 50 feet. Another thing I learned is, when it is wet, dont toss it in the dryer at home (no heat) to dry it out. Takes a few minutes to get untangled if you do.
