Soon-to-be-splice

Today I did not have time to go for a walk - I had to prepare myself for a coding dojo I am facilitating tomorrow.

Instead I decided to blip my eye splicing gear I'm about to use in the near future - a friend of mine wanted to learn how to make excellent eye splices. Yep, an old sailor from Åland once taught me how to do an excellent eye splice. One, which does hold and is so easy that you cannot do it wrong. You only need proper tools including a marlingspike

To complete the story, I am telling where it is depicted in the 'Bible of Knots' - The Ashley book of Knots: It is the knot number 2750, also known as "The Maiden's Eye"
