The good news is that even if you just use them as is, you'll be WAY ahead of where you were previously.

John, that is the case. I'll have to
rig a
line that will act like a (one sided) traveller.
Or I could use my favorite knot, the very adjustable taut-line hitch that stays in place after you adjust it. (Note it is sometimes call the midshipman's hitch but I've seen that same name on similar but NOT suitable knots. So beware if it uses that name. Better to simply refer to this one as the taut-line hitch) Note also that on some more slippery lines (poly lines), you'll need two of these in a row. The second one (further up the main line) helps the first one hold fast.
