Thought he did an awesome job talking his way threw it that part was really great however the shadows and color of the line was tough to follow along.

I made a monkey fist with the REAL rope, the one used for tug o war, And I dented a fence when I swung it at it in a Medeival Flail-like motion.

I've wanted to tie this since I saw The Ghost of the Flying Dutchman display it on Spongebob!! ^_^

No worries - sorry about the arrogance of the last comment. Was rather drunk haha!

bullshit - it's used during mooring for passing the linesmen the mooring line. The heaving line has a monkey's fist at the end and is tied by a sheet bend to the mooring line. The linesmen then pull on the heaving line as the mooring rope is passed out across to em. We used it nigh on every time in Foreland Shipping.
