GUEST,.gargoyle	bowline vs. bow line in canal songs (40)	RE: bowline vs. bow line in canal songs	02 Jun 17
Re: Mr. DaveRo, you are correct: One Handed Bowline Yes, it is primarily a rock climber's knot, or a rescue knot, because it is tied around one's own waist and takes about one second in time. harder to undo if under tension and hence the use of a "slippery" version...as with the "slippery" double half-hitch. Mr. Ebor Fidler bowline on a bight is NOT a noose It can create a type of "bosun's chair" with a double loohp...one around the waist and one around the thigh's. Good Lord forbid...but, perhaps there have been accidental hangings with such. Ships and ropes can have unexpected outcomes. Witness the outcome at "the happiest place on earth". www.articles.latimes.com/1998/dec/25/local/me-57518 Sincerely, Gargoyle Rabbit (sometimes squirrel) comes out of his hole...around the tree...and back in its hole.
