I learned a new knot

The damper I've been putting on one line in a swell is working really well. The first time I used something like a fender hitch to make a loop to tie the bungee round. Under tension the hitch straightens. Last time I used a bowline on a bight. This works perfectly but is bulky.

The linesman's rider or butterfly loop is perfect. It is easy to learn, to remember and to tie and looks really neat.
