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.

Oggi vi portiamo con noi in una delle giornate che stiamo trascorrendo qui in rada in Croazia, nella baia di Brgulje. Il vento minaccia di salire questa notte, così tiriamo su l’ancora e ci mettiamo alla boa. Adesso siamo a posto e possiamo concentrarci sulle batterie, sull’acqua, sul lavoro, sul meteo. La giornata trascorre serena, La serata anche. Programmi per il futuro: aspettiamo qui l’1 ottobre, giorno in cui molleremo gli ormeggi e faremo rotta verso nord. Fino ad allora… ci aggiorniamo! 🏡🏡🏡

François Gabart à la rencontre des premiers albatros des Mers du Sud pendant sa tentative de record du Tour du Monde sur l'Ultim MACIF. Pour battre le record, détenu depuis le 25 décembre 2016 par Thomas Coville en 49 jours 3 heures 4 minutes et 28 secondes, François Gabart devra couper la ligne d’arrivée avant le 23 décembre à 13h09 (heure française) sur son trimaran MACIF. En plus de travailler sans relâche pour faire avancer son trimaran de 30 mètres le plus rapidement possible, il devra donc bénéficier d’un enchaînement de conditions météo favorables.
