My bowline, attached to my bow and dock is very robust; my 'painter', just looped over the piling, is kind of like a weak-wristed clothes line. It's less a tether than a spring line. It was not intended to take massive yanks repeated. My only problem with it Friday night is that I could not tell whether the loop was a bowline knot Doc Häagen-Dazshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00577427442824705257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018205427973265951.post-7493164287018127952011-02-21T07:20:53.605-08:002011-02-21T07:20:53.605-08:00Bowline or Painter?

Good thing I found that out and good thing I had one of my beefiest bumpers on his boat. Now the water may be flat but it's looking like spinnache soup. I'm canceling my day sail planned for tomorrow; I'm no where good enough of a mechanic to risk Doc Häagen-Dazshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00577427442824705257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018205427973265951.post-66647945357095763912011-02-19T17:37:38.531-08:002011-02-19T17:37:38.531-08:00Painter........
