Last November, I posted a photo of three boats southbound on the ICW with their dinghies in "cruising mode storage" (reposted below).
I forgot to update with the followup picture of meeting one of those three boats outside of Nassau later in December. Seems they decided it WAS important to see behind them (but not so much the other direction).
They were underway, not hauling up their dinghy - note the strap to the mast.
