Re: What's wring with this picture?
If a little wind kicks up it's going to take at least a 6-pack to get that mess untied.

Honest to God. I had a feeling y'all were going to say that. Great minds think alike! Wait, is that a compliment to you? I guess I meant it to be. Sure. It's a compliment to you. Yeah, that's the ticket!Naahhhh, I'm going to leave it to make you look silly .....
Interesting, frog.
Where the hell do you find these treasures?
What is truly AMAZING is that the knot is just a cow hitch over the horns of a dock cleat WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE CENTER OF THE CLEAT like most dumb new boaters do.
Man, I see it all the time and it makes me gag!!!
Send a bottle to each of the skippers who ever respond to this thread. Make new friends in far way places. Get to know new skippers so when you visit their locales you'll get free sailboat rides. Keep up the good work.
Spread the joy!!! :wow:

Great idea Stu: though I am not a big fan of summer shandy. Beggers can't be choosers: Cheers on you Kermy!
It's hard to tell but a cow hitch with a figure 8 twist on the right. I'd try it but my boat isn't in the water yet. Seems like it would constrict tight , maybe hard to get loose quickly. I'll check my knots books.
All U Get
$10 doesn't even buy lunch these days ... I'd give it a try. But I like Leine's summer shandy best so far. I also like Leine's orange shandy ... I guess I just like citrus in my beer. It all started with Corona.
I'm picky that beer MUST come from a bottle, not a can. Not picky about the knot, though. It looks fine to me.

Looks more like a hatchet job to me. I looked up hatchet knot and only found a picture of a hatchet. :-|
I found it at the local Food Lion. They sometimes have good beer prices. I'd love to send everyone a bottle, but I think I'd rather we all meet somewhere and have a tasting. (Sometimes it takes an entire 6-pack to *truly* get a taste for what the beer tastes like.) And thanks for the compliment!Interesting, frog.

I've gone from being a beer redneck to a beer snob and now a beer realist. (Same as coffee.) I grew up loving Miller beer and a Snickers bar together then when Coors became available in this part of the country I switched to that. Then I found it was easier to buy Coors Light since my First Mate liked that better. But then I started wondering why people liked beer so much. It just kinda lost its appeal to me. Then I discovered Blue Moon and wheat beers in general. I *ALWAYS* pour my beer into a drinking vessel of some sort. I have found Blue Moon in cans and buy that since cans fit in coolers better. Green's Discount Beverages in Columbia, SC has the best prices I've ever found. Blue Moon is always $10.99 a 12-pack. They also had Sam Adams Cold Snap 12-packs for $9.99 a 12-pack in bottles. I've come to realize it's best to buy what I like at the best price I can find and drink if from a cup, a glass or a Tervis tumbler. Oh, I love having an orange slice in my Blue Moon but really it doesn't matter. Blue Moon is good regardless.
And I always tie my own boat.
