Nice but what or how do you do when you leave on your boat and want to leave the buoys there so know one takes yours spot?

Pull the blight through and tie a bowline on blight.

Loved this, but mostly because I understood it. Translation (if you are not a big mariner): pull the loose end of the line through and tie a knot (preferably a bowline--if you don't know this one, learn it--very helpful).

Confused... but I guess I will look it up.

Found it but how does this tie too the buoy?

I like using the EZ-TY clamps myself instead of having bulky knots.

Just unhook the Danik hook from the bow eye.

Like this. 5 seconds, strong, and easy to untie.

Got it, damn things so expensive!!!

Yeah, but so beats learning to tie all the fancy knots that would replace it...

Not when you’re not good at tying knots, so why not I just like it cause it’s so simple even the wife can do it I figure after spending 70k+ on a boat what’s another $46.

But knowing how to tie a bowline is an extremely value skill. I used to teach kindergartner sailers in five minutes. The rabbit goes up the hole, around the tree, and back down the hole. Or spend 50 bucks every time you need to tie a knot.

It was a joke. My son and I know how to tie knots.....wife and daughter are not willing to learn. The Danik hook is more than just a knot. We boat and anchor a lot in deep water and the Danik Hook makes setting up much easier and quick.
