Nice Parking Sunsail!

One of the more inventive mooring techniques I've seen - 'The Bench Tie'.

Ah, The Benchmark of approval then

How odd. I've tied up to street furniture etc when there's been nothing else, but they have a nice row of shiny new mooring rings. Wonder why they chose the park bench?

Crazy ! Why didn't they use the lamp post ??

Crazy ! Why didn't they use the lamp post ??

Perhaps they thought it was too light

 

[Daedelus]

Perhaps it was their bench and they didn't want to forget it when they left.

Standard creative sailing approach from Sunsail.

Around the bench thinking rather than being restricted to out of the box!

What knot would people recommend for this?

Then they could have joined their shorepower lead to the lamp supply.

Seen that in Greece

I wonder if the power only comes on after dark?

They should have tied it to a car

What you can't quite see in the photo is the long stern line taken to one of those wheelie bins!

 

[Highland Bear]

Anyway, aren't those ring things for tying the dog to when you go into a nearby shop/taverna?

 

[tugboat]

Presumably they wanted their lines to smell of dog pee.
