Anyone remember the discussion awhile back about how to run lines so that when you return to the dock singlehanded the lines stop your boat prior to hitting the dock. I had a picture from Val but can't find it anymore. I think the one line ran from the poles around the bow of the boat and the two(2) lines from the dock bulkheading were attached to it. Does that sound right. The line from the poles would also act as a spring line as well. Thanks. Bob VanWyen

Hi Bob,

'Sorry I don't remember that discussion, so I'm not quite sure what that setup looked like.

If you have a finger dock on each side of your boat, or if you have a post you can tie to, here is an idea that might work for you:

<img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b3d922b3127cce8a0fe6426bd00000001610" border=0>

It is simple and cheap. All you do is make a big "V" out of some stout line, and add a bumper/fender to the end of it. If I were to make mine again, I'd probably use a larger fender, but this one works fine.

If you keep the lines tight, they will guide the boat right into the slip, even if your aim isn't quite straight (don't ask me how I know that <img src=icon_smile_blush.gif border=0 align=middle>).

'Hope that helps ... let me know if you have any questions ... good luck!

Help! Am I having a problem with my computer? The text of the message is clear but the picture of the docked boat is blurred (checkered, as when a digitital transmission doesn't quite work).

Looks good here, but my computer doesn't do "digitital transmission." <img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>
