Bowline knot | How to tie the best knot for kids | Oystercatcher native bird & a big leap Ep 9

Our family sailing adventure continues with the Sailing Kids on day 5 of the summer holiday trip. Blake shows you how to tie a knot, two ways to tie a bowline knot (the best knot for kids), the slower and stronger way or the fast way he used in the Emirates Team New Zealand (ETNZ) bowline competition on facebook. You can check out his entry in the comments section of their post. This was another way to keep us busy during the New Zealand coronavirus lockdown (Covid-19 lockdown level 4 in NZ is where we need to stay within a short distance from home, no sailing and just essential visits to the grocery store). On day 5 of our summer holiday, we go to the first bay to port as you enter Te Kouma harbour, the bay has no name and is on the Coromandel. The boys walk up the hill to get some great views of the ocean, in doing so we dodge plenty of cow poo, fly a mavic mini drone to get some incredible drone footage of the surrounding area. After going back down the hill, Toby tries to walk across a log that was rather high off the ground. He got half way and did a big leap back to safety. We then find Oystercatchers on the beach, they are a native New Zealand bird and like to hang out with one other mate, they are normally found on sandy beaches all around NZ as this is where they lay their eggs. We are two brothers, aged 4 and 7, who love going on sailing family adventures - exploring the outdoors and finding super cool wild animals, bugs and marine life. So along with our parents, we're sailing the world, exploring islands, and looking for interesting wildlife. We start our adventure sailing New Zealand but dream of sailing around the Mediterranean some day. We love our planet and want to look after our environment, so through our travels we hope other kids will feel inspired to care for our planet and wildlife too.
