Topic: Grease your running rigging?

Moitessier diligently lubriacted his running rigging, sometimes daily when expecting rough weather - both the sheets and halyards especially where they ran through blocks.

Does anyone out there do this or something akin to it?

I do it all the time, not only for rough weather but just to keep these line a longer time.
It make my line last twice longer (Less shafing around the block area).
