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.

When hauling out your boat here, you set it on a cart in the water and tie it to the cart. A big old winch and cable then pull the cart and boat onto the beach while you are aboard. Not recommended for tight asses.

Winds hopping at ~40 knots coming from the west, I am so glad "Moments in Time" is one pier inside. Still a bit bumpy tied up.
