"Captain Bungee" – that's what they call me around our marina, because I always have an assortment varying in lengths, diameter and style. The applied uses are endless, from securing any canvas, the loose stuff inside the cabin, to the inflatable and beyond.

Some of my frequent deployments are:

• keeping my lines secured when they're wrapped and hanging from hooks and the railing
• securing fenders that are cosmetic as well as functional
• same for the water hoses and the safety ring with its line
• pending sea conditions and wakes, anything that I need to secure to keep from losing or breaking while underway.
