I neglected to post a picture of the finish product.  Well here it is and it&#8217;s brilliant!  It works great for keeping the boat off the dock on a long pier or at a fixed dock.  We like our floating docks, but this marina has fuel and we&#8217;ll need to fill up before we leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"279\" height=\"597\" src=\"http:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/202505-Nebo.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/202505-Nebo.jpg 279w, https:\/\/lumenita.com\/luckydog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/202505-Nebo-140x300.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 279px) 100vw, 279px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Above is a picture of our travels for the month of May.  The funny thing about this is I mentioned to Doug when we were planning the trip that it seemed inefficient to zig-zag up the Chesapeake and we shouldn&#8217;t do it.  That&#8217;s not too much of a zig-zag is it??
