A bit of leather and electrical tape that prevented this
line from chafing through. I am now a believer in the wonders of electrical
tape. I was taking waves over the stern
as I wrapped the tape around a spare piece of leather. Unprotected for just a few minutes and the line
was chafing badly. The tape and leather stopped the chafe and held up well during
the worst 4 hours of the storm, which
was gusting over 80 mph even in the protected cove. Shot the morning after.
This is a lesson to us all, if you have a boat carry some decent chafe protection leather and binding tape.
Miles had Brio on a very nice looking twin line but stern mooring, I expect he could not pick up on his own from the bow?
Drama in the boat yard that Miles uses, all pictures supplied by Miles.
