When I hit the lotto I will pay people to tie my knots for me. Until  
then I will practice while watching the videos here.

Good one. Especially useful for me might be the one near the bottom,  
"How to hogtie a brunette". :-)

"How to hogtie a brunette" should be considered essential knowledge for 
any paddler - especially trip leaders.

I spoke with a nice brunette yesterday in the hardware store parking lot; 
she had a nice yak. On the stern, she had tied on an approximately 1 foot 
length of braided line, through the toggle, as an extension of the toggle 
for holding onto the kayak in the surf. The short line had a big knot at the 
end. Everything, including the "knot" was done to professional sailing 
standards. I think Doug Alderson has a sample of this in one of his books.

Not sure if Gordin Warner got anywhere with his toggle misfortune 
investigation, but this brunette I bumped into was way ahead of the game.
