Getting Into the Dinghy; there is a better way

Well, we found a better way for me to get into the dinghy after swimming. George took one of our dock lines, tied it onto the port side handle and draped it over to the starboard side with the loop hanging overboard. I put my left foot into the loop, kick with my right foot (still wearing a flipper on that foot) grab the line and pull myself up. I then swing my right leg into the dinghy and get in. It works really well. I plan to try it again when we visit Thunderball Grotto tomorrow morning.
Speaking of the dinghy, George named it and our little 2 hp outboard "The Chuggernaut". It seemed appropriate today as we were going to and from Staniel Cay. The one mile trip took 25 minutes each way.
