Have taken a few people hunting and fishing and it really disturbs me that I can't seem to teach anyone how I like to tie up my boat. It's called a "cleat hitch". Learn how to do it with gloves on and I'll be very happy.

I don't use water-ski ropes except on the anchor which you'll never see.

I was only airborne "infantry" with the 82nd at Bragg, but never saw a boat cleat.

We call them hatchet knots.
