    Probably 15 years ago there was kid at the beach that works the dock during summer, probably around 13, and he would do this when boats came to fill up with fuel or grab something from the store. Very impressive no matter who’s doing it.

    some guy at my marina taught me how to do this when I was like 8.... it's not as hard as it looks, and it's DEFINITELY worth the time to learn!

    I grew up on the docks and lived aboard. Needless to say I've handled a line plenty. I've never seen anyone do that. Very cool, and for all you "that isn't proper" technique, I agree. However, when speed counts, and it does when docking short hand in wind, I'd rather have her. It can always be made correct after the boat is secured.

    No round turn on the cleat and she used weather hitches! To any person that works in the maritime field professionally, weather hitches will lock down a line if a heavy strain is applied. This may cause the line to have to be cut. New synthetic line is expensive!
