T&T: anchor rode

[Warren Keuffel]

Brait -- trade name for a 12-strand braid line from Yale Cordage

Warping -- using lines to maneuver boat closer to dock (vis a vis  
using engine/thruster)

Hockles -- from www.seatalk.info: "A knob of cordage which forms when  
the line is twisted opposite the lay. The knob weakens the line and  
makes it impossible for the line to run freely through a block."
