GL: Line handling-was Great Harbor boats

[Randy Pickelmann]

I don't have a GH 37 but I did stay in a Holiday Inn once.  Oh yeah, and I do
have a Manatee which is perhaps the mother of the high-sided trawlers.  The
Manatee is actually set up to do all the line handling from up top.  We have
stout chocks and cleats up there...fore, aft and amidships.  Our drill is to
dock and secure the boat from up there and then, if we feel it necessary,
relocate our stern and spring lines down lower.  We work upstairs and live
downstairs.
