Harry remarked about making sure your dock lines are crossed in my

it a bit. Without "Tideminders", I would agree because this allows
more stretch of the lines but with Tideminders, you do not want
stretch.
Yes, Crossed lines look more professional but in this case I think
they defeat the purpose fo the Tideminders.
I am still envious of the person who thought of the Tideminders.

My bow and stern lines are crossed, too. They're not that way because
they allow more stretch; they're there to position the boat in the
center of the slip.

Paul, do you get your EMAIL via Branford YC ?
