Good grief! One of your lines "popped" in 40 knot winds??? What are you
using, bakery twine?


Martin never heard of a line going in a 24 hours period of bad weather. Then
again, doubling up on lines is a common practice when bad weather approaches.
Martin must wonder why.

Nutsy,

Where did you put the extra line? Two lines on the shackle or two
shackle on the cleat?

I don't have shackles on my lines. The line popped right below the snubber. 1st
dock line I ever broke before replacing as a pre-emtive measure.

RB

You mean a line parted and it wasn't even chafing on the boat or dock??? Good
Grief!!!

This is the most pathetic confession since jaxie admitted he didn't know how to
use a compass!

No way to tell after the fact. It appeared fine when I left. Luckily the safety
lines held and the boat never touched the dock.

Martin,

He didn't lose a line. Another fictitous troll.

Humor Him.

Yeah, you're right again, as for humouring him, I suppose so, probably what the doctors told his parents to do.

What a load you spout, maybe you were using clothes line, but then again you know so little about boats and sailing that you have to use a marina that
tells you how to tie up.

Whatever is marty talking about now? Every slip on the island has specific
rules on tie up based on insurance. But then so does three marinas in Manhasset
bay I visited!
Yeah, Marty knows DOCKING!

Bwahhaahhaahaha!
