Re: [Paddlewise] Bow and Stern tie downs

<How many people
> really use bow and stern lines?>

Bow lines on longer trips. Never used stern lines. For short trips locally
(about 2 miles at about 30 mph) I usually omit the bow lines and just go
with 5/8" prussik cord tiedowns on the foredeck and afterdeck. In about 30
years of paddlign one thing and another, 7 years of kayaking, I've never had
trouble.
