He must have super strong cleats for a strong nylon mooring line to part
-after all, a sailor would not have attached it improperly.

Went to the boat this morning to find one of the aft lines popped in

Winds gusted over 40 knots last night and were still to 30 when I got
there at
10:30 am. But I knew this was coming and doubled up on the lines! No
problemo.
Sure is a great day to do some sailing, so I'm going back in a few hours.

How can that be? You go down to your boat every day, your lines are
"thimbled and shackled", and yet, in a mere 40 kts, a line "popped"!
What are using for line, the draw string from Suzy's maternity pants?
