That was close!!!!
 

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

RB

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

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?

Like so many dimwits the Boob probably uses clothes line to tie up his tub. My
old marina was pretty exposed and I saw many people using clothes line rope.
They would always bitch everytime there was a little blow. They blamed it on
the marina. Anybody who looses lines in 40kts needs to be buying real
docklines.

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.

What a LOAD Loco is! No one uses clothes line for docking. And if I saw someone
using it, I'd move my boat to a better marina!

RB

That's right my docklines can handle the load. Aparently your the one with the
problem.

Loco,

Aren't you surprised a line popped that was shackled to the cleat:^)!!!

OT

Nutsy,

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

OT

Martin,

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

Humor Him.

Bob recently managed to get a great deal on some "umbilical" cord. The
saleswoman told him that it was specially designed for navel use!

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.

Yes, do.

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!

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

Frankly I'm appalled at what most sailors use for lines. When new they're
ok. But after a year or two in the sun the ultraviolet takes it toll. The
line looks good but it is seriously compromised.
Mountain climbers take much better care of their ropes and replace them
quite frequently. Their lives depend on it. Sailors should follow their
example.

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.

According to NOAA records for W. LIS, it never got over 24 kts., from
9/26 - 9/29, if I'm reading this graph correctly

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.

Master Fisherman, RB!

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!

Interesting, but that buoy doesn't report gusts, and its not that close to City
Island. Here's a report form the Merchant Marine Academy at King's Point, about
2 or 3 mile from booby:

http://co-ops.nos.noaa.gov/nyports/3WLWind_kp.html

The accompanying ASCII data does show some gusts in the low 20's.

Wow! I guess all those reports in the evening about gusts in the 35 kt range
were just heresay! Following morning gusts were to 25K.

25 knots steady, gusting over 35. Yup. Thanks!

The only "gust" your instrument reported was when you stepped on board and the
masthead moved suddenly.

Fact: if a boat heels 30 degrees in one second, that can be seen as 15 knots at
the masthead.


Yesterday you were claiming it gusted to over 40; now you're saying over 35.
What's happening, is your world getting smaller?
