Story about the most impressive knot tying I've ever seen.
My Dad got involved with some guy who was buying a mothballed ship from the Navy. It was up in the mothball fleet up in SF area.
As we got it to a dock in SF right under one of the freeway bridges going into SF, we tossed a line to a guy drinking a cup of coffee on the dock. The line was easily 3-4" in diameter, maybe bigger. He caught the line with his free hand, and while holding the cup of coffee proceeded to toss the line up and around with the other hand. He ended up with a perfect bowline which he dropped over a cleat on the pier.
He didn't spill a drop of coffee.
