playing as I write.
The skipper (me) gave one of his masterclasses this evening over cocktails
and nibbles. This one was on the subject of knot-tying. My party-piece is
tying a one-handed bowline and a true anecdote about me, bowlines and the
Duke of Edinburgh. (Another time gentle readers if you have not already
heard it).
Colin was mainly interested in knots used for terminal tackle, hooks and
line-joining when using heavy monofilament. (The uni-knot system works well
for those who care). Heike was mainly interested in knots that can be used
to secure wrists, ankles and necks.
Bikini of the day - orange one-piece with blue and green piranha fish.
Losing the plot in the Pacific at 08:49.69S 129:50.73W Wednesday PM
