I understood it to mean a line that didn't have a stopper knot tied in it. When sailors were up in the rigging and fell, they would grab for a line and if they started to slip down the rope and got to the end and it didn't have a stopper knot in it, they would have met their "bitter end.""bitter end"
Soooo.... should we call the horns on a cleat "bitts"? Or should we start calling the bitter end the horny end?The "bitter end" in fact is tied off to the "bitts" 2 vertical posts on deck or elsewhere to secur a line, or chain, especially the anchor rode.
I have 3 pages of 'em that I can attach to an email if you want to send me a PM that includes your email address.I like this thread, is there a website devoted to this topic with a search option? I thought I ran across one a while ago but unable to find it again. It would sure help a newbie out when I'm reading articles.
This, I suspect, is the origin of doing something "in vane". Sailing into the wind, no headway.Wind Vane - A device at the top of your mast to show you the direction the wind is blowing. Also, it indicates where your destination lies.
