Perfect, great wind

The wind has been on the lighter side but still good sailing. Bigger winds are expected next week

This is awesome!

Quels bon souvenirs cette vidéo évoque!

You know how some people are annoyed by the sound of nails on blackboard? For me, making fast to a cleat the wrong way is even worse! In the picture above, two ways are correct, one is not ... can you tell the difference?

Check out this video how to properly tie a cleat hitch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMwXjckgiOs

Mostly like D. But none are completely clean.

Ron, you should do your own videos! Multiple eyes on one fitting, as in the second video requires the eyes to be "dipped", it's standard on larger vessels and ships. I first learned this at BYC and use it to this day. I joined BYC 50 years ago this year and still feel lucky to have met the people I did back then.

D but B would suffice

B & D are correct
