Lat-Longs

Here are the positions of our last few anchorages:

N 25  11.197'
W 81 08.650'                       

N 25 51.717'
W 81 32.780'

N 25 55.706'
W81 38.583'  

AND..........

N 26 02.575'
W 81 46.414'

And the sailor's question of the week is..........

What kind of knot do we use to attach our anchor bridle to our anchor road??
Hint:  It doesn't slip.............

I will try this again. Jon said-"if you can't tie a good knot tie alot" I say it should be a splice.

Wrong!!!

The knot we use is a Prussiik knot and it doesn't slide at all.......it's a climber's knot used for rope on rope ascension......

Rolling hitch is close but needs tension to work......Prussik tensions itself.......like a Chinese puzzle.
