Minor update on my progress.
This time of year is the start of the Fall cleanup, closing the pool, cleaning and storing the outside furniture, transplanting and cleaningt the spent plants out of the flowwer gardens. But every trip by the shipyard resulted in at least one ratline. Slow work - square knot - clove hitch - clove hitch - clove hitch - clove hitch - square knot. Dab a lttle glue on the knots, etc. You guys must be familiar with the procedure????
My progress to date
@Heinrich , My Admiral had ABSOLULY NO INTEREST trying knot tying.

Agreed . I miss Heinrich’s fabulous documentaries. Cheers GrantJan,
Good to see your WB again. Maybe it will bring Heinrich out of hiding
Good morning Jan. So good to see you pick up the WB again. Cheers Grant
Hi Grant,
That little ship was silently calling every time I walked by it. So………
Jan
Silently calling......what was it calling you?
Ratline progress:
The knot tying event is slowly proceeding.
“Here a knot, there a knot, everywhere a knot knot”
The world is flat and I’ve sailed off the edge

Only one proper solution: start a new project.Ratline progress:

Yup, I think you're suggestion is spot on. I'm going to switch gears for a bit anddo battle with Mr. Murphy and his bud's the Gremlins. There seems to be an electrical fault in the main control panel on my RR layout.
The LED track occupancy indicators (Red Arrrows) are intermittent. It will be good therapy to chase electrons versus tying clove hitches.

Knotty problem indeed although it looks as though you're owning it.Ratline progress:

I certainly can relate Jan.Years ago it would have been a lot easier. Eyes were younger and fingers more nimble.

That's going from the frying pan into the fire...
Argh, could not stand it. Had to finish what I started.

(BTW, Mr. Murphy is on the run and the Gremlin twins can’t be found. The RR layout back in operation)

True statement, the advantage being that I now know how to ty knots with two sets of tweezers.
