We took a vote and decided that there are 4 very useful and important boating knots that boaters should probably know how to tie and because seeing is so much more powerful than words – we created a short video on boating knots.
I hope you find it useful.
Happy Boating!

I was born a commercial fisherman's daughter in Cortez, an old fishing village off the west coast of Florida where you can still experience "Old Florida" and get a really good grouper sandwich. I went to school and became an anesthetist, after privileged years of practice, I jumped ship to work in the family business - Cannons Marina. I love my job and the view. I am crazy about my dog. Being out on the water is magical. I still get giddy every time I see a dolphin. Often I brag that I had the opportunity to swim alongside a humpback whale - it was freaky and pretty amazing. Fishing for tarpon and marlin make me happy. My life is no doubt boating, but I also love paddle-boarding cooking and travel.

Great video. I would take one full turn around the base of the cleat before making the figure 8. Keep up the good work!
Great video….my only comment is when I was on a friends boat…and I called the rope…rope…I was corrected to call it line. Does it really matter..
Great job Angela! I’m going to get Universal Studios after you! Bob
Nice job Angela. Your instructions were
very clear, and I particularly liked learning that a properly tied knot is also one that comes undone easily if it is tied correctly in the first place!
Thanks for the info.
