Our first stop
was a store named West Marine. As he searched shelves for the parts and
pieces he needed I explored the rigging or &amp;ldquo;deck tackle&amp;rdquo;, as he called
it. Here I learned a great deal. Did you know that with its stock of soft
lines, pulleys, cleats, jam and cam cleats and ratchet pulleys that such
a store is a regular bondage/self bondage enthusiast&amp;rsquo;s heaven. I spent
$178.49 and came home with things that I knew would amuse both my wife
and I for some time to come.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
