New Knot To Know

Post by NiceAft »

I just received the latest e-news from B.O.A.T.U.S.. In it, the president of the organization was telling about a knot taught to her by the TOWBOATUS person in Bayside Queens (Greg's home port :?: ). It seems a simpler way to tie up to a post.

Looks like a Lighterman's Hitch, but with a single turn over the post. I usually use the Lighterman's when there's just a post.
