Knot of the Day ‘Me Hearties’

[harrison]

Morning crew,

Today’s knot may be of more use when you upgrade your sib to a ship and require a simple strong way to secure a tow line to a bollard.

Although @sonny1 has a Samson post on his rib, so this might be one for him.

Morning gang,

Hundreds of knots still out there but reckon its about time now to bow out and call this the bitter end.

Nooooo
I’ve been enjoying this

You’re surely not gonna be beaten by an app?
I’m gonna start a poll to get you a daytime tv slot, I mean if “Crayon with Carol” can hit the big time, there’s no end to your expected fame.
