Jim,
thanks for the advice - I have pretty much done as you suggested (lines are on top). The lines are wire and OK to use with big wet suit boots on but you won't have that problem on Lake Travis....
Talking of which, is the bar called Carlos and Charlies still going? What a dream place - great sailing, food, beer, sun....... I'm (now an ex) employee of Dell hence know your town pretty well and love it. Wine country is great too..
