The first island we visited in the Saronic Gulf (the stretch of water south of Athens, Greece) was Aegina. In the southwest corner of the island lies Perdika. We found this little fishing village so charming that we sent our drone up into the air to admire it from above as well. You can see the colorful fishing boats moored at the docks in the sheltered harbor, and along the promenade are the whitewashed houses so typical of this part of Greece. To me, the village had retained much of its authentic character. From the harbor quay, you can see the uninhabited islet of Moni – a nature reserve that can only be reached by boat. It is said to be home to peacocks, fallow deer, and wild goats.

In this short video we explain how to tie a bowline when you can’t see your hands. The bowline is one of the most commonly used knots in sailing or on sailboats. Many of us have learned the rabbit-hole-tree method, but I find that difficult to use when I can't see what I'm doing. With practice the method shown in this video can be done by feel, without the need to see your hands. To tie the bowline around an object using this method, simply pass the bitter end around the object before passing it back through the thumb loop (i.e. between steps 2 and 3) and pulling the knot over itself.
