Violeta I can't help you with your toenail, but I do have a word of caution. I strongly recommend that you use two lines on your mooring ball. There was a fellow at our club that only used one line at the start of the season, shortly after launch he had to be pulled off the rocks. Also one of my lines failed this year. I did like the way you secured the loop at the cleat.
