[PSUBS-MAILIST] K-250 Emergency Buoy Implementation

[Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles]

I like the way you pulled that off without the need for any machined parts,
well done. The only thing I wonder about is whether the line bight could be
somehow secured so that the reel doesn't feed out line if, for instance,
you are under tow. Consider things like a bungee cord that releases along
with the float, but constrains the line or the reel pre-release.

Best,

Alec
