Abstract
Abstract The present invention comprises a combination boat hook and mooring apparatus having a longitudinally extending tubular handle with a transversely disposed T-head at one end and with a stiff flexible cord extending through the tubular handle and forming a loop adjacent to the T-head end with the opposite end of the flexible cord extending out of the opposite end of the handle to provide a means for closing the loop formed by the cord adjacent the T-head end.
