Here are some photos of examples from around the boat.
This is my photography, not my rope work.
1 top: Puddin - This helps as a fender, so if someone were to row this and bump into the side of the schooner, she'd be protected. I actually helped make this one.
2: Monkeys Fist on the anchor
3: Thump Mat - this helps protect the boat from wear and tear so the when the block thumps, it lands on the mat and not the wood of the boat.
4: Simple Rope Mat
5 bottom: Decorative Turk's Head.
Here two of the Turk's Heads I made
They look like braids, but they are a continuous circle with out ends that need to be knotted. Many people wear these as bracelets.
Not only did I learn this cool stuff, but it was an awesome honeymoon too!
