Today we are going to talk about boating knots and a number of different methods of tying ropes together, splicing, tying decorate knots, lashing and whipping which we would get into more detail with in a few minutes.

Many of the knots I'm going to talk about have applications beyond boating. You may see them on my other knot segments. So check them out.
