One of my new favourite knots is the Zeppelin Bend, for tying 2 ropes together. It's a very strong knot from the late 18th century that was used to secure Zeppelin airships full of hydrogen or helium to the ground. This video will quickly show you how to tie one. .... This knot can cope with a huge strain and it won't jam under load, meaning you can untie it in an emergency: it's the Mother of all knots. ... Zeppelins were up to 3 times longer than a 747. That's quite a force for a knot. Sure, you can just use a Sheet Bend for the same purpose, but why ask Mr Bean for help when you know Schwarzenegger? Anyway, this knot has a great back story and a cool name: the Zepper!

It was two years ago in May. I was teaching an instructional passage, and we were in Bermuda waiting for weather to allow us to continue north to Newport. Of course, we knew that the America’s Cup was happening. Still, the absolute mind-boggling spectacle of seeing those boats…..doing that! As we entered the outer bay near Hamilton, there, right in front of us, was Oracle, sitting in the water, getting coached up by her chase boats. Now not more than 40-50 yards away, the crew trimmed in the wing sail. The boat lurched a little, started moving….then bam! Like the Starship Enterprise in the Star Trek movies, it popped up, onto its’ foils, and was off at nearly 40 knots. Warp speed Scotty!

Giorno 153 - buone notizie? Tutto parte nel verso sbagliato. “Ehi Frank, dove sei?” “A fort de France con la famiglia.” Lo aspettavamo in mattinata per rimontare l’argano con le spazzole nuove. Alla fine è tornato, ci ha ridato l’argano come prima, ma dando una bella spruzzata di crc alle molle delle spazzole è tornato in vita forte e vigoroso. Torniamo in barca e ci aspetta il rimontaggio. Sotto un caldo torrido. Un’altra giornata fermi in marina.. Ma inutile infastidirsi, come diceva Cami ieri, non bisogna prendersela per eventi di cui non si ha il controllo. Finito di rimontare l’argano, festeggiato per il suo funzionamento, facciamo due passi e vediamo una meraviglia. Un catamarano sollevato da un pallone pieno d’aria per lavorare sul sail drive dell’elica. Geniale, bizzarro, francese. Questa volta direi efficace! Ora doccia e poi una cena gigante, la fame è tantissima oggi! A domani! Un abbraccio A.
