[Rhodes22-list] Sunday sail

[Chris Cowie]

Great site for knot illustrations.  My Dad taught me the bowline knot, he is left handed so that's how I learned.  "snake comes up out of the hole, wraps around the tree and then goes back down the hole".  What is the most common non permanent way to tie a docking line to a post?  The Clove Hitch looks too likely to come undone?  I usually end up putting in several half hitches until I think it won't come undone.

During our trip I had the need to tie a bowline knot and it did knot come
easy.  Alice just sent me this site:

In addition to easy-to-learn knot tying, it has some other cool things I
thought some of you might find interesting.

We were delivering Beats Prozac through Kent Narrows to a marina where
she'll be dry-docked for the winter.  No sailing but with the great weather
and company it was a most enjoyable day.  We were prepared for a strong
current through the Narrows and weren't disappointed.  While waiting for the
bridge to open we were lightly motoring into the current yet still going
backwards.  I was glad Alice had a big 9.9 outboard on her boat.

My boat isn't as new or pristine as Alice's, but Stan told me that red hulls
are faster:

Don't know about rum-fueled yellow hulls.
