Ben wrote "Like anywhere with floating bollards, just be sure that when you
cleat the line back to the boat that you do so in a fashion that could be
released quickly under load in the unlikely (but not "never happens") event
that the bollard sticks and does not rise with the water".

I strongly advise against cleating the line back to the cleat. we made that 
mistake once and it was the time that the bollard hung up.  By the time we 
got the line cut we were within inches of being sunk, and did $6000.00 
damage.  Cleat one end go around the Bollard bring the line back onboard and 
hold on to it. and have a good sharp knife within reach.
