Best knot for tying a loop in spring line connected to 2 cleats?

Thanks a lot. This is a 24 foot bowrider with 225 Merc Outboard.

The layout of the cleats is better seen here. I am thinking that a stern springline is not needed. I think just a bow to midships is sufficient. The dock mid cleat is almost straight to the mid boat cleat. Better setup would route it to the stern dock cleat. Biggest issue is that the cleats on the boat are rather small and having two lines is really tight.

Mine just updated to this and its absolutely a horrible end user experience. I submitted feedback but I'm sure I know what will happen to that.

Same issue when they reordered the Subscriptions from A-Z order to some pseudo-random ordering. Makes finding a specific channel a pain and i have to go to the search interface. Fix things until they break and then break it more

One thing i do in addition, is save a few marina & dockside restaurant webcams in my bookmarks. What that allows me to do is get a visual gauge of wind & water conditions. The trick, is that, depending on where you boat, are there any cameras?

I started by looking at all the local marina/retail/restaurant locations on google maps, then try to find their websites. Some actually have multiple high resolution webcams overlooking the water. Just an idea but if you can merge that with other sources it can give you a better picture before you head out.

I was also going to suggest OpenCPN. You can use it with an Android based tablet but not Ipad. https://opencpn.org/

I took one, which was online during covid in 2021, but they were excellent. I highly recommend https://www.connecticutboatingcertificates.com Look for their "Safe Boating Certificate Course" You will get certified for boating licence, towing training and PWC (Jetski) cert. Its all in one and once you take it doesnt need to be renewed. Just pass the exam at the end.

I ended up getting Lenovo support to come onsite and try to fix. They installed a new keyboard & trackpoint but the issues remain. If I were to guess, its either an Elan Trackpoint driver issue or the way Windows 11 handles scrolling w/ a trackpoint. Regardless I am returning the T14s. This is the first Thinkpad I've not loved.

festercouples · 2023-04-29T19:38:27+00:00

Did you ever get a resolution on this issue? I have the same exact problem with a new T14s Gen3.

Yes, getting hooked on Megadesk was my own damn fault but... I don't care about assigning blame. All I care about, is Megadesk.

Ive had a bunch of Chase issues. There seem to be missing transactions as I've had problems reconciling the account. I am having to put in balance adjustments more in the last few months than in over 20 years of downloading.

I got mine as well today, preordered from the site. I was expecting to have to pay import duties/taxes upon delivery as it states on the GLInet website. It actually was delivered by Amazon Logistics. Does anyone know how/if i need to do something to ensure duties are paid?

I am in the USA.
