How not to tie a stern brest line
How not to tie a bow brest line
Myra and I rode down the Caloosahatchee River to Deep Lagoon to have lunch. While we were tied up at the dock, the boat in front of us drifted back into the bow of our boat. No damage to our boat but it scuffed the motor housing on his boat. He insisted the damage was my fault even though his boat was improperly tied (with 2 loose brest lines and no springs) and moving back and forth 3 or 4 feet my boat didn't move more than 6 inches. In the end, insurance ruled it was his fault.
