I always have several wraps of the sheets PLUS a sail tie.
There is no issue
with removing the sail tie, because every competent
captain does a walk around
of the boat before leaving the dock or mooring. Only a
complete lubber would
argue with this. I expect that Neal/Nellen/Wilbur the
uber-lubber will have
something to say!


that's right, you should check your lights before you leave.
I have to uncleat the bow lines, anyways.

Damn, now I'm agreeing with chuckles!
