Why don't sailors like buying new hats?
They are afraid of cap sizing | |

Every sailor should know this knot. In the video it’s shown on deck … but it simulates tying a bowline around your waist if you’re in the water and someone throws you a line. Practice it on land first. Then practice it in the water. Simple knot. Serious purpose.

Men's Health Week - did you do the check? | |
| |
Men are on the back foot from the start. A boy born today will live nearly four years less than a girl born in the room next door. He will be over 20% more likely to die of a heart attack than the girl, and almost 30% more likely to get diabetes. Worse, he is three times more likely to die by suicide or in a motor car crash. 8 Kiwi families every day lose a loved partner, father or tupuna to a PREVENTABLE illness. Be brave - take the test!
