Simon-
I addressed the problem of stowing a tank with a pony on the back by
keeping a bungy cord in my bc pocket. This way, I can stow my own kit
anywhere on the boat. The arguments for not carrying a pony were not
compelling enough when I was talking about my life. A 13cuft pony is
just the right size for me.

Jeff.
