If you want pictures of how to constuct a chain sinnet, try "The Morrow Guide
to Knots" by Mario Bigon & Guido Regazzoni, Quill/William Morrow & Co.
ISBN 0-688-01226-4.  It's an inexpensive and very good paperback.  Lots of
color photos.  My favorite is the Hunter's Bend - very elegant.  

This book should keep you busy when you can't paddle and will give you too 
many options when you're trying to rig a tarp, tie up a parcel...
