Great video Greg.
As Scott mentioned I do something similar using a Docking Stick to catch the piling when I'm coming into my slip. That line is attached to the one of the lower shroud chain plates and acts as a spring line after I put the docking stick loop over my aft starboard piling. Eventually I'll be adding a horn cleat to get the line off the chain plate.

Yeah, you are right…directionally challenged that day. BUT you helped drive up my view count!
Every great video must have an imperfection! The content is excellent and I'm compelled to use your technique. Glad the view count went up! (That's an editor's job, right?)

Greg, as your editor :cool:, I'm compelled to correct a few items that initially had me so distracted I had to repeat and review several times. Your directional awareness is screwed up!
I caught that too ... but I was too distracted by the boat loop to worry about it:biggrin:.:poke:
