REMEDIAL KNOT TYING

Captain John asked me how I was at tying knots.  I found myself starting to say, I am absolutely miserable at knot tying, but realised that would be completely unacceptable verbiage from any of my students!  Therefore, I corrected myself and replied, “I am knot challenged and would appreciate any tuition in that area.”

I am becoming proficient in the half-hitch and am starting on the bowline.  Glenn, the First Mate, has also been very helpful in my knot tying education.

Half Hitch success!  Still in dry dock as you can see in the background.
