Bowline Knot is the most useful and most popular knot in the world of sailing – it is easy to tie, but also to untie. It is, however, extremely firm and secure. Watch more How to tie videos: https://www.sailingeurope.com/blog/sailing-knots Learn how to tie a Bowline Knot: Step1: Form a loop Form a loop by simply crossing the two sides of the line. Step 2: Line through the rope At this point, you should have two ends – a free and a standing one. As you’ve made the loop, bring the free end of the line through the rope (as some like to say – the rabbit comes out of the hole). Step 3: Wrap it Wrap it around the standing end and bring it back through the loop (the rabbit goes around the tree and then back into the hole). Step 4: Tighten Tighten the knot by pulling both ends.

After what feels like weeks of waiting, we are finally putting some miles under the keel again. We're on our way to Guna Yala (the San Blas islands), sailing upwind along the North coast of Panama. We haven't done a great deal of upwind sailing on this voyage so far, but that's about to change - Antigua is 1000 miles directly upwind, and the Caribbean trade winds are strong, squally, and often bring big seas. Today is good practice for us, beating into a relatively comfortable 15 - 18 knots with moderate seas, 2 reefs in, 5 - 6 kn boat speed, and ironing out all sorts of little issues that come up.
