Cool Timelapse the morning to mid-afternoon of July 5th, 2021 in SW Florida. Elsa is just south of Havana Cuba as I recorded this. This is actually a fairly small hurricane only about 150-160 miles wide so the outer edge of the storm is still a bit over 120 miles from us. It has been cool watching the clouds roll through, in, and build through the day.

They honed their skills during 5 days of racing instruction including a combination of on-the-water training and races, and shoreside seminars. They will be bringing those skills to the KeelBoat Clubs Monday Night Races. #BillGladstone #annapolissailing #annapolissailingschool #keelboatclub #northsails #sailboatlife

The clove hitch Along with the bowline and the sheet bend, it is often considered one of the most important knots to know. A clove hitch is two successive half-hitches around an object. It is most effectively used as a crossing knot. It can be used as a binding knot, but is not particularly secure in that role (we prefer the constrictor knot for these use cases). A clove hitch made around the rope's own standing part is known as either two half-hitches or buntline hitch, depending on whether the turns of the clove hitch progress away from or towards the hitched object. The Clove Hitch is the simplest and most effective knot for securing your fenders. It can be tied in seconds, is relatively easy to undo which makes it simple enough to adjust the hight as you approach the marina. follow the link below for a full demo. https://youtu.be/q2YetRQGFRM We hope you enjoyed todays bottom up boats know knots shorts video where we showed you the clove hitch in seconds.
