So when our stairs and back platform broke, one of the complications became getting Jessie on and off the boat, to go for a swim at anchor.  David tried a few different methods.  One such method was to use our sea steps, by attaching them to the boat as usual, and the end that would roll along the dock he attached to the dinghy crane to support the stairs so they would hover just above the tender.  Along with the stairs "floating" in the air, Jessie is just freaked out by any set of stairs.  It was funny watching David attempt different ideas to get her in and out of the water.  We finally settled for just hoisting her by the handles on her lifejacket.
