Teaching Kids to Tie Essential Sailing Knots: A Step-by-Step Guide

Teaching my nephew to tie knots this weekend. Started with a bowline. You know, the rabbit comes out of the hole, around the tree.

He looked at me like I was crazy. Just shows me a video on his phone instead. Kid tied a perfect bowline in thirty seconds.

Maybe the rabbit story was always dumb. Worked for me though.
