Ciekawe czy pisał to Tadeusz Meissner czy też Stanisław Kosko?
I czy opisują sytuację przed, czy też po tym holowaniu

"What is your name?" asked a ceremonious little clerk, ...
"Bengt Emmerik Danielsson," Bengt answered respectfully.

Który z Szanownych Panów zechce dać nową - wedle pierwszeństwa czy starszeństwa?

pytać powinien bez wątpienia Colonel.

Boat-maintenance costs rise at close to the cube of the waterline length. Approximately one gallon of bottom paint will suffice for a 30-footer but a 40-footer needs around 3 gallons. Gear replacement on a larger boat is usually more than twice as expensive. A new anchor in the small boat can be less than half the size of that needed for the boat only 10 feet longer, and anchors are sold by the pound. Another advantage to the smaller yacht is that wherever you travel, shipyard managers, store owners, and fuel docks judge the size of your wallet by the length of your yacht. We have watched the same product or service billed at two different prices for two different-sized boats. As one Latin character said to us, “If they can afford a yacht that large, they must be rich.” One real advantage to XXXXXX's small size and limited space may just be personal, but is worth stating. If I had more room, I would buy more things. Souvenirs, toys, clothes. We’d spend much more money on things we have now learned we can do very well without. It’s one way of keeping a budget. Let’s forget about money for a moment. Sailing a small boat is much easier. Once you are outfitted with a self-steering vane, your 30-footer can be easily sailed by a couple or single-handedly. You don’t need the problems of a crew, and if you are dependent on others for crew, they can be a big problem. A 30-footer is large enough to make having guests a treat, but not a necessity. With a good layout, such as a forward stateroom and quarter berths, you won’t be in each other’s way. You may be told, “This 40-footer is designed for two people to retire on and cruise off to a deserted island.” But, consider taking in the anchor and chain with a strong onshore breeze blowing. If you are ill, have a sprained wrist, or worse, could your wife manhandle the ground tackle, raise the sails, and get underway? If your engine gave out, could you and your wife short tack up a narrow channel? Could you work into a crowded anchorage under just sail and then lay up to a dock? I’ve seen the nervous wives 40-footers produce. They’re really worrying: what if something gets out of hand; what if I have to sail this boat alone?
