As far as mooring to pilón, would be best to go from the cleat to around the pilón then back to the cleat with figure 8's. Usn ⚓

No better advice than from an ole salt who been there and done it. Thanks Capt. Never to old, or smart to learn a better way. How many boaters are guilty of buying the smallest fire extinguisher that will make you legal. If you ever have a fire aboard boats usually have a larger fuel tank (s), are made of combustible materials and an escape isn t always possible, safe or in best interest. A full size extinguisher inshore and two offshore may save your day.
Please be safe and considerate to others out there. Tight lines.
😊

Should be required viewing for every boater, great simple instructions!

My NY neighbor sank a brand new Bayliner 21 foot cuddy at the dock. They had been drinking and forgot the 'spring lines'. The tide rose - the bowsprit moved over the dock - the tide dropped - the anchor dug in - the stern dropped - the tide came in and the boat went under. Fried wiring was just part of the rest of the story. Always look back and study your boat from the dock before you walk away. Always !

I am from the British Columbia, Canada coast where tides can very as much as 20 feet on a king tide. There is really no fixed docks to tie up to. They are all floating! Thank goodness

[seanmartin]

I would say you would be shocked how many people I see every time on the water that could use the last two videos, but you wouldn't be. Great video again guys!!!

[nateand]

Man i don't even have a boat, but your channel is very interesting. Great videos

[bobcathey]

Great video. Not sure they teach this most places. I learned quickly on the NC/SC coast 20 years ago. Luckily no damage. Local teenage help was offered. Thinking I knew better I politely refused. A probable mistake. Cut a couple of nice lines to get my boat to float properly in the middle of the night (low tide), but learned a valuable lesson! Local knowledge is great!

[cleatusbarncoat]

Great tutorial. Inland/Wisconsin boater here. Can’t even imagine having to deal with big tide-level changes. Crazy. And love when I’m standing on the public or restaurant piers, offering to help tie up someone, and they “throw“ me a 4 ft. line. Or the lines are still stowed. 🙄

[matteobellodi]

No fender? I always put them between the dock and the boat. Just to prevent damage from the waves caused by the wind or some boat.

[robertraft]

good video, this is exactly what the old guy taught me.
we have a bulkhead to put in and haul out, tie boats all day.

[blaster-zyxx]

There is one more way to tie up a boat when docking a boat single handed. If I'm just going to be at a dock for a short time and not worrying about tides etc, I will sometimes just loop the line around the piling and bring it back to the cleat on the boat. That way I can release all the lines from the boat myself after I'm back on and ready to go.

[ITUMBLEU]

Thanks for the tips...good knowledge to have. We cut sections of pool noodles and slipped them over the lines crossing the engine, after the paint was rubbed off, unfortunately.

[pauldimm]

In addition be sure the rub rails on the dock or pilings are secured properly, no nails or screws pulling out, (at one point in the vid there is a rusty nail sticking out on a piling rub rail ) they can ruin the gell coat on a boat in no time, I had a bad experience at a marina with a floating dock.

[robertproudfoot]

We run the line around the pilings and tie off both ends at the boat cleats. Sometimes using a spring line.

[fuyt]

I remember the first time i tied my boat up out at captiva, never before have i had to deal with tides. I was so worried i was checking on my lines every few hours. I couldnt sleep lmao. I didnt want to be the guy who's boat is under the dock.

[JimBobson-ry]

15 miles into Everglades, 10, 000 Island Region, canoe not properly tied, next morning..
Upside down canoe. This video is important.

[EmilioBaldi]

To slide the lines, even very short ones, up and down the poles the portion of the rope in contact with the pole is covered with a rubber tube.

[forrestbleinberger]

It would be great if you could do a video on how to properly set up mooring whips and then the right and wrong way in which to utilize them. They are obviously something you do not see at most docks and would make great, useful knowledge for the inexperienced boaters should they encounter mooring whips at a marina.
