[MHml] jordan drogue

[Peter Lillywhite]

  >In drogue mode you weigh down the end. 
  True, I believe to carry the drogue down under the influence of breaking waves

  >In sea anchor mode would you put a float on the end?
  The float apparently ensures the the user can recover the parachute and stops the chute sinking in near calm conditions which would make recovery difficult. One parachute anchoring manufacture recomends a length of chain, up to half the tether length, to act as a shock absorber.  

  Cheers Peter.
