Mooring line,<\/a> (which keep the boat steady lengthways) \u2013 there is a bow line and a stern line (one at the front, one at the back), which are positioned so that the boat cannot \u201edrift\u201c forwards or backwards. On Saturday, I want to learn a few basic knots so that I can manage more on my own later on.<\/p>\nWhat new things have I discovered about myself?<\/h3>\n
I love it when I have to get to grips with a wide variety of topics. Two days ago, I had a long chat \u2013 about an hour \u2013 with Helge, who\u2019s currently doing some building work on board, about the correct height for urinals \u2013 because that\u2019s important when planning the ship\u2019s toilets. I learnt a whole host of new things about men\u2019s urination habits \u2013 a subject I hadn\u2019t really given much thought to before.<\/p>\n
And then I\u2019ve been reading a lot about Coco Chanel \u2013 because this spring I\u2019ll be publishing a short biography of this fascinating woman as part of our \u2018World-Changers\u2019 series. She was the daughter of a pedlar \u2013 and went on to play a decisive role in shaping 20th-century fashion.<\/p>\n
