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.

We have marked the 40th anniversary of our iconic Hythe Marina Village with a weekend of celebrations, bringing together berth holders, residents and visitors to honour four decades of boating and waterfront living. The festivities began on Saturday 20 September with a community hog roast, hosted by Hythe Marina Association. The ticketed event provided an opportunity for residents and friends of the marina to gather and celebrate this important milestone together.
