It's so fantastic and yes it's long, but after a little bit you just feel like Jack and Stephen are you're friends and you wish it to never end. So - if you haven't read it - please give it a go - easy to find in the used bookstores and really inexpensive online, used. http://www.bosunsmate.org/forum/index.php?action=view&id=347 Yes, definitely, though I haven't yet read them. http://www.bosunsmate.org/forum/index.php?action=view&id=346 I've only ever seen the movie but I can say that it was the best I've ever seen in terms of nautical films. Although, that said, I'm not an expert. http://www.bosunsmate.org/forum/index.php?action=view&id=345 Hi all, I'm a new arrival to Canada, very recently to Vancouver, BC with my wife and little daughter. I served as an officer on board Gas and oil tankers and graduated with a MSc degree majoring in Maritime Safety and Environmental Administration (Oct. 2007) from the World Maritime University, Sweden. Presently searching for employment.. I'm actualy lost where to start ?? I'm looking for a job ashore or on an offshore station.. please help me with companies' sites http://www.bosunsmate.org/forum/index.php?action=view&id=344 I tried to find some good instructions for a Turks head that were freely available but came up dry. There are many out there - but nothing that is very good. Best I can suggest is to grab a copy of 'The Marlinspike Sailor' (the book I initially learned from. It is an excellent reference for a bunch of things nautical - and has the best set of instructions for the Turk's Head I have found. Ashley's Book of Knots also has many varieties - but that tome is not for the fei http://www.bosunsmate.org/forum/index.php?action=view&id=343 [b][url=http://www.frayedknotarts.com/tutorials/chesapeake/chesa.html]Here's[/url][/b] a tutorial on making a Chesapeake Lifesaver (Topman's Bracelet) which you might want to try out. More tutorials [b][url=http://www.frayedknotarts.com/tutor1.html]HERE[/url][/b]. Also try Dan Callahan's excellent sites for a [url=http://knotical-arts.com/nantucket1.html][b] NANTUCKET style[/b] bracelet[/url]. http://www.bosunsmate.org/forum/index.php?action=view&id=342 I don't have a picture sadly. But I do believe it is a Turks head. If I could get the instructions, it would be much appreciated. http://www.bosunsmate.org/forum/index.php?action=view&id=341 I probably can get you the instructions - but it will depend on which kind of bracelet it was that they made. We would frequently do about 4 or 5 different forms. The most typical, if someone else made it right on you would be a Turks Head - which is also the most difficult to learn from a set of instructions unfortunately. You don't by an chance have a photo of it do you? http://www.bosunsmate.org/forum/index.php?action=view&id=340 It has been 8 years since I had the opportunity to have been on the Pacific Swift, and while I was on the ship we made these rope bracelets, and until recently I still had mine, but after all these years it finally broke. So I was wondering if you knew how I could find instructions on how to make one?
