That's right booby, they don't. I've never heard or seen a line
part for no
reason. 35 knots (so you claim) is not anything that should part a
properly
setup line in a few hours. And to have no explanation? That's
absurd!

If that were the case, there'd be a few thousand boats drifting in the
bay.



But maybe my experience is a bit limited. Is there anyone else out
there that
can tell us of a line spontaneously parting?


Only when some fool lubber uses wash line to tie up.
