Clove glitch

That is knot how you tie it Sedgy!

What Thurston Howell III must have been like as a boy!

Now, let’s move on to the anchor…

Oy!

“Jarvis!”

One of these things just doesn’t belong.

But Sedgy can probably tie his tie in a full WIndsor knot, unless he has Jarvis do it for him.

Scientists think certain ticks might be able to “fly” using static electricity and since Sedgy is from the parasite class his story checks out.

Looks like an ionic overhand with a bowline bend to me. :)

Still… The boat is securely tied… ☺

If only he had brought some of his staff to summer camp he wouldn’t be in this mess.

Jarvis is on the yacht laughing his a$$ off! :)

Quibble, but this is a strip about boats and such: A “dock” is the place in the water where a boat might be moored. (Hence, “dry dock”, a contraption to moor a vessel without water.) The instructor is talking about a wharf or pier.

Sure, blame the blaser!

Pray for a high tide. That’ll float his boat.

I really wish we’d get an arc where we see him when he’s older, takes over his father’s business, and runs it into the ground in a week

Usually only a Scout knows how to tie a clove hitch.

And those knots are clove hitches. :-)

The Sea is unforgiving, Sedgie, especially when you are trying to excuse your own incompetence.

Face it, Young Nuttingham. You are a landlubber….
