[Rhodes22-list] Spring Lines

[Mary Lou Troy]

We don't use spring lines in our regular slip but have needed them 
when travelling or rafting up with another boat. Most of our lines - 
except the stern lines in our slip - are 3/8" so we just use the 
existing cleats. We did change out our very small single bow cleat 
for a larger single cleat a few years ago and can now get several lines on it.
