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.

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!

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.
