A tether device includes a magnetic base; a pole having a first end attached to the magnetic base; and a connector or clip attached at a second end of the pole, for removably connecting the tethering device to a user. Also, a method for tethering a user to a hull of a vessel including the steps of providing a tether device having a magnetic base, a pole having a first end attached to the magnetic base, and a connector or clip attached at a second end of the pole; connecting the connector or clip to the user; and engaging the magnetic base with the hull of the vessel.

1. A method for tethering a user to a hull of a vessel, the method comprising the steps of: providing a tether device comprising a magnetic base, a pole having a first end attached to the magnetic base, and a connector or clip attached at a second end of the pole;removably coupling an article for we
1. A method for tethering a user to a hull of a vessel, the method comprising the steps of: providing a tether device comprising a magnetic base, a pole having a first end attached to the magnetic base, and a connector or clip attached at a second end of the pole;removably coupling an article for wearing by the user to the connector or clip; andengaging the magnetic base with the hull of the vessel. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the coupling step is performed by connecting the connector or clip to the article worn by the user. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the article worn by the user includes at least one of a suspension harness, clothing, footwear, helmet, and a belt. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising telescopically extending the pole to engage the magnetic base with the hull of the vessel. 5. The method of claim 4, further comprising telescopically collapsing the pole to draw the user toward the hull of the vessel after the extending. 6. The method of claim 4, further comprising: operating a switch on a surface of the magnetic base to activate a magnet disposed within the magnetic base prior to the engaging of the magnetic base with the hull of the vessel and the telescopically extending of the pole. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising telescopically collapsing the pole to draw the user toward the hull of the ship. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising: operating a switch on a surface of the magnetic base to activate a magnet disposed within the magnetic base prior to the engaging of the magnetic base with the hull of the vessel. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of disengaging the magnetic base from the hull of the vessel. 10. The method of claim 9, further comprising the step of detaching the connector or clip from the article worn by the user. 11. The method of claim 9, further comprising: operating a switch disposed on a surface of the magnetic base to deactivate a magnet within the magnetic base prior to the disengaging of the magnetic base from the hull of the vessel. 12. A method of tethering a person to a hull of a vessel, comprising: attaching a connector or clip of a tether device to an article worn by the person; andengaging a magnetic base of the tether device to a section of the hull of the vessel. 13. The method of claim 12, further comprising: lowering the person over a side of the vessel adjacent to a sloped section of the hull of the vessel after the attaching of the connector or clip to the article worn by the person. 14. The method of claim 12, further comprising: activating a magnet within the magnetic base. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein activating the magnet is performed by operating a switch on the tether device. 16. The method of claim 14, further comprising: extending a pole attached to the magnetic base of the tether device at a first end of the pole and to the connector or clip at a second end of the pole. 17. The method of claim 16, further comprising: collapsing the pole and locking the pole at a desired length. 18. The method of claim 12, further comprising: attaching a strap to the magnetic base of the tether device and to the article worn by the person after engaging the magnetic base to the hull of the vessel; anddisconnecting the connector or clip from the article worn by the user. 19. The method of claim 12, further comprising: disengaging the magnetic base of the tether device from the hull of the vessel;relocating the magnetic base of the tether device to a second section of the hull of the vessel; andreengaging the magnetic base of the tether device to the second section of the hull of the vessel. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein disengaging the magnetic base of the tether device is performed by applying mechanical leverage to the magnetic base.
