    Hi All,

    OK, the nose count I have is 9 total, 1 for Friday, and 8 on Saturday. I'm thinking about heading out Friday night too, since the weather looks quite grand.

    Actually, it's just the opposite - the stake end is fixed, and the adjustment is on the tarp.

    I keep the guy lines on the tarp. I usually buy red stakes anyway - less chance of loss.

    Sure, I even set up the tarp to get some pics!

    What I do is tie a bowline for the stake, and then attach a prussik to the tarp. It's an idea I stole from pgibson, and his Tarp Guylines.
