Sounds like your doing well to me Julie. I do like the Enterprize. It appears to sail in from another time.

Good grief. You know the names !

Reminds me of knot tying in the girl guides. Bow lines, clove hitch, reef knot etc.

I was only introduced to the intricacy of knots when reading Annie Proulx's "The Shipping News".

I'd be out of my depth. The anchor particularly stands out to me.
