Question-how do I double my docklines with a sampson post? I am using 5/8" docklines, and the post is full with one set of lines. I do have two cleats on the stern, so no problem there.
My thought is to use the spliced ends on the post and tie off to the tide risers at the bow. Would you use a bowline for your knot of choice? Any other ideas?
We are not expecting Alex to hit us, but there looks to be a 30% chance of seeing tropical storm winds for now. I live quite a ways from the boat, but figure I need to go do some preparations. Thanks in advance for any advice.
