Oggi la barca ha assorbito le nostre attenzioni con voracità. Fare dogana, disormeggiare, circumnavigare l’isola, ormeggiare, cucinare, pulire in vista dell’arrivo della crew, scendere a terra, tornare a bordo, disormeggiare nuovamente, entrare in laguna, quasi litigare con l’operatore del ponte levatoio perché durante l’ingresso in canale (24nodi di vento, canale stretto) chiude il ponte prima del nostro passaggio, ormeggiare a un gavitello ma andarcene perché ci incagliamo sul fondo (nulla di grave, era melma), quindi ormeggiare di nuovo, infine fare una spesina. E il lavoro? Ovviamente abbiamo avuto entrambi call. DISCLAIMER PONTE: alle 17:00 apriva per consentire l’ingresso in entrata. Ore 17:00 apre. Noi siamo già in coda dalle 16:45. Alle 17:02 siamo dietro a due barche. Approcciamo l’ingresso in canale con raffiche di vento piuttosto forti. A un tratto (17:02) vediamo che il ponte inizia a chiudersi. Cosa?! L’ingresso in canale è imminente. Una volta entrati non avremo spazio per fare manovre. Andrea si butta a destra. Facciamo la barba agli scogli e ai frangiflutti mentre mi precipito al VHF per chiedere cosa diavolo stesse succedendo. La voce ride e mi dice “adesso non passi” Cosa? “Nella vita va così, qualcuno deve pagare e stavolta tocca a te, Captain”. (Storia vera) Ma cosa sta dicendo? Noi vogliamo solo entrare. Alla fine ha riaperto (17:07 e 24 nodi di vento) e mentre passavamo ci parlava ridendo. Boh. Adesso sono le 20:30 e il letto sembra il paradiso. Domani dovremo seguire alcuni lavori, tra cui portare a riparare una vela e trovare la SIM di IridiumGo, il telefono satellitare dal quale all’andata avete seguito il tragitto e i messaggi in bottiglia. Adesso vi saluto, muoio di sonno! A domani 😴

The Ashely Stopper knot has a relatively large stopper which is super secure after applying a small amount of load to tighten. These characteristics make it a great choice when you are using thinner rope and are looking for a big stopper. For a detailed video tutorial follow the link below. https://youtu.be/2syCRm6zdAE Ashley's stopper knot, also known as the oysterman's stopper, is a knot developed by Clifford W. Ashley around 1910. It makes a well-balanced trefoil-faced stopper at the end of the rope, giving greater resistance to pulling through an opening than other common stoppers. Ashley developed this knot in trying to duplicate a knot he saw on a boat in a local oyster fishing fleet. When he had a chance to observe the knot up close at a later time he realised it was just a badly water-swollen figure eight stopper knot. The Ashely stopper Oysterman's stopper knot has three rim parts, and these are quite symmetrical when viewed from the underside. From this view it closely resembles a three-strand wall knot. The end is nipped by a single top part. It is easy to tie and practical to use when the hole that is to be filled is too large for the figure-eight or either a single or double overhand knot. If you want to master even more knots why not pick up a copy of the definitive book on knots. The Ashley Book of Knot has approximately 3900 different kinds, from simple hitches to “Marlinspike Seamanship.” Mr. Ashley has included almost everything there is to know about them. Precisely named and classified (some new ones for the first time officially), they can be easily found in the big index. He tells when they appeared, something about their history, and what they are good for. . https://amzn.to/3fkisle We hope you enjoyed todays video, thanks for stopping by and supporting Bottom up Boats, as an amazon associate we get commission from associated sales.
