Once again, I beg T2x, write the book.
 

You can't make this stuff up! It might almost be time to write the book, "The Characters of Offshore" This book can be split into chapters, by ? Nationality? Country of origin? Geographical Residence? I am sure T2x can come up with something. I like to add, I am glad I don't fit into any of his categories.

a rope is only a line when in use .

Phillip:

Now, you're confusing me..........

The Apache I referred to was a pleasure boat...not a race hull.

But, they were definitely Apache race "fans".

T2x

From a sailor (cough) at heart it is a line. From a skier at heart it is a tow rope. Milk....Melk....Napkin....Nafkin....there are times when both apply even on a vessel....boat....:D

Did somebody say LINES!!????:puppy:

I call them Dock lines and anchor line . But for skiing they call them ski ropes .

You don't cast a rope, you cast a line. If it's on a boat it's a line.

do you throw a ski line or cast a ski line. so when your on a boat do you cast or throw . I throw my anchor .

Arent there any NAVY guys here? Oh wait, they probably just use big freakin chains for everything!
