I believe I explained last summer that I found the nose part of my boat hook (orange tip) would get jammed as I placed the hook part around the horn of small cleats on the launch rafts, docks etc and pulled myself closer..which changed the angle of the hook to dock and boat.
I really like using the gaff.. no jamb problems.

If this doesn't make things clearer, you two are on your own.
