Illustration: At a small fishing harbor, a boat owner kneels on the dock and tightens a mooring rope around a metal cleat. The other end is visibly attached to the bow of a little boat, which floats just beyond the dock edge. The completed turns of rope hold the boat in place despite a gentle pull from the water.
