<< One can drive thousands of miles without stern and bow tiedowns and
 never have a problem.  Then one day...  Same as driving withoug a
 seatbelt.  You may never need it, but why take the risk? >>

   Sorry, but I just don't buy this kind of logic. If you indeed believed

helmet while driving your car. Hey, what about a flack vest!
    Put me down for one who uses bow and stern lines for long freeway
