I used to take the bow line off my boat when I would put it on the trailer. I was in a hurry one day one a trip by myself and forgot to hook the rope to the the boat, I tied it to the trailer but not the boat. Backed into the water and my boat never stopped. I did not have to swim for it as there were lots of boats coming in from fishing, and someone was nice enough to get it for me, but boy I was embarased. I have never taken the bow line off sence.
