When I used to use bungies a lot with my foam blocks, I always used bow
and stern lines.  Yes, they were definitely needed both for preventing
side-to-side movement and uplift.  Now that I have saddles and NRS
straps, I've *gasp!* neglected to use the bow and stern lines anymore. 
The strap/saddle combination seems _way_ more secure than the old
bow-stern painter/bungie/belt/suspender/shoelace/dental floss/old
extension cord combination.
