Square Knot is also known as a reef knot. It is easy to tie, but when you join two lines together be aware because it easily slips and comes undone.

Step 2: Cross them again Cross them the second time – right over left. Step 3: Repeat and twist Then again, cross left over right and twist. Step 4: Pull and tighten Pull both sides and make sure both parts of the line exit the knot together.

This weekend people all over the country (and the world!) are greening their houses, their workplaces, and their cities in preparation for the holiday season. Why not let a boat be part of the fun?! Here in Gig Harbor, Washington we have a great maritime culture, and every year there is a holiday boat parade where people festoon their boats with lights, and circle the harbor after sunset. It's fun to view both from the water and from land, taking in the holiday lights from both sides. Whether your town has an event like ours, or not, there's no reason not to head to the water this holiday season and let the dinghies get some love too! Hope you'll join us in #GHBWDeckTheHulls and share your photos with us on social media!
