Well, there's bobbing gracefully and there's crashing about.  When we're 
tied up, if a boat comes past and we don;t move, we start worrying about 
being aground  (which is why we don;t always bother with spring lines, 
depending on the circumatsnces).  But that doesn't mean we enjoy being 
really thrown about.
