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.

Discover Boating summoned the world’s only prognosticating fish, Captain Gill, to forecast what is arguably one of the most highly anticipated predictions of the calendar year—the length of the boating season. Making his first-ever public appearance at Burnham Harbor in Chicago, Ill. on Thursday, August 29, Captain Gill used his shadow to boldly predict whether Labor Day Weekend will mark the end to cruising the open waters this summer, or, to find out if he sees six more weeks of boating ahead. The underwater oracle did not see his shadow, so it’s o-fish-al: SIX MORE WEEKS OF BOATING are on the horizon! Take advantage of the extended season and get out on the water with your friends and family! Check out Go Boating Today tool to find accessible ways to go boating near you.
