Description
The blue thing is called a mooring snubber. As the boat bobs on the water, the snubber absorbs the energy of the movement and the boat never pulls the line totally taut. This saves wear and tear on your lines and your boat hardware. (I looked it up.)

A brilliant idea and a super pic Tara.
Great find and capture Tara. God Bless.
What a GREAT gadget!! A wonderful innovation and such and interesting composition, too.
Interesting contraption. New to me. I wish I had something like that in my life. Feel all tied uo in knots. The big knot on the cleat is so obviously to take up excess line so it doesn't drop in the water. A small detail, but important. Nice that you noticed! Something we all too often take for granted - the small details in life. And thanks for the info! Keep up the good work! :-)
Oh right!!!!!! ;-) I thought this was something else! A fine close up, of one the more important things in a sailors life.....knots! Rob
perfect sharp; great lighting and pov !
What an eye you have!
Great capture and interesting hard(soft)ware for the boat
Now that is a cool invention! I don't think I've ever seen or heard of this! Wonderful image as well, Tara! Hope you have a fantastic Easter long weekend!
Great capture of a product only boaters would know about! Very interesting!
Knowing one's ropes is a good thing. What does Rob have in mind;-)
What a wonderful capture, such a good composition, and very very well seen. Very interesting information, too; I'd never even have a clue what to look up!
I had a snubber once, every time I spoke to her she snubbed me!...Great textures here auntie.
Excellent close up, Tara. Beautifully done :))
Interesting image! :)
Very simple but quite good.
happy Easter
the blue catches my eyes and I smile cool capture, Tara May warm hugs, Linda Kaye
Great Idea and shot. Aloha
All that, and it's blue, too! :-D Cool shot and info, Tara!
And it looks good too. Such a great shade of blue! I love it when smart gadgets actually look like they've been meticulously designed. This rocks...but absorbs the shock of rocking as well! How cool is that!?
great gadget indeed!!!
Nicely capture Tara!
