What is your knot preference for making a dock line off to
a piling?

Same here. The self-tightening loop keeps the line from
dropping along the piling or chafing.


What should be a concern when so moored.



Tidal range.


Agreed again. I didn't think you all had much tide up there.
We have very little real tide, the wind on the estuary puts
the water level up or down as much as four feet some times.

How do you tell if the line is going to allow more or less
movement as the water level goes up or down?
