Here comes the HIGHS and LOWS of boatlife! I mean the highs are great, let's go sailing, enjoy the sunshine, see some dolhpins you know... BUT today isn't about the highs! Today is about the frustrating moments, the moments when you want to set your boat on fire an be done with it! Looking back it's funny, how this tiny bit of wood rot turned into this huge are of deck that needed replacing, and months and months of work and trying to figure out how to go about it, Please don't forget, I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing here, so many times I have to do one job 2-3 times before its good enough (thats some of the very low lows.... very frustrating!) It is great to see the progress and I am sure for some part of it there are a million better ways to go about my boat repairs, but hey this is my afternoon hobby, i dont have all day every day I can't spend that much time on her and also this is happening on a budget. That's why it DIY :) and I learn, I prome I get better at this! IG: @yvonnemarianna.travels Patreon: SailingStormy
The Anchor Hitch is a super knot which tightens on itself when load is applied. It is really simple to tie, all you need is two round turns. One over the top of the item you are securing your rope to and the second one on top of the first. The Anchor hitch will tighten on it self making it hard to undo after load has been applied, making it a great option for permanently securing your rope to an object. Adding the bight when you finish the anchor hitch makes it a lot easier to undo. The additional width of rope used to finish it with the bight is easy pulled out via the tail of the rope.
