              Don and Toni:

Thanks to both of you for your excellent instructions on how to tie a
one-handed bowline. You both described exactly the same method albeit
one a tad more humorous that the other. I am practising daily for
five minutes until i can do the deed blindfolded, standing on my head
and underwater.
There is however one small problem: When the first mate tried to do
it, she came up with a perfect square knot (reef knot)! Try as I
might, I cannot duplicate what she did.

George of Scaramouche, icebound in Lake Ontario, with nothing better
to do...
