<div>The agreed upon dates for Ephemerisle is that it starts on the Monday of the last full week in July.<br />
<br />
But as it's a decentralized gathering, people and islands can show up or depart whenever they like. Some islands have traditionally scheduled their own "build week" the week before other islands show up.<br />
<br />
Here are the dates for future years:<br />
<br />

Islands form the foundation of Ephemerisle. <br />
<br />
Most people are part of one island of another, though a few boats anchor off by themselves.<br />
<br />
Here's a list of [[Islands|islands through the years]], and some of the islands planning on showing up in 2022 are below:<br />
<br />
== Big Booty == <br />
<br />
Big boats, big docks, BIG dance floor, big DJs, and more. If you want quiet...<br />
<br />
this may not be the island you wanna live on, but it is definitely the island you want to visit!<br />
<br />
== Electric Avenue==<br />
<br />
<b>The World's First Electric Boat Charging Station</b><br />
<br />
Brewster haa been dreaming of a "Electric Broom"-- a motor/propeller on the end of a stick, and the stick holds the batteries. You can ride it from island to island, recharge it on Electric Avenue. <br />
<br />
Maybe Chris Willson will let us use the island we used for Vinyl Isle in 2021... Maybe Tim Anderson will lend some solar panels... Maybe someone has an EV battery... Maybe Jim Mason's All-power-labs gasifier... Clyde suggested putting a Nissan Leaf Battery in a boat Hull with a prop, so we can drive that to get recharged and other uses...<br />

Ephemerisle cannot be reached by land. You must arrange for transport and lodging by boat beforehand. While daytrippers are welcome, please make sure that you arrange a means of getting to and from the event beforehand. <br />
<br />
There are basically three options: <br />
<br />
* Catch a ferry <br />
* Launch your boat boat/structure from a nearby boat ramp<br />
* Bring your own boat all of the way by water<br />
<br />

<br />
We are thinkers, doers, artists, dreamers, muckrakers, and builders interested in life on the water. Every July we construct a floating city on the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and live on it for a week.<br />
<br />
There are no tickets, no central organizers, no rules, and no rangers to keep you safe. <br />
<br />
The event only happens if people (like you!) contribute.<br />

The one agreed upon rule at Ephemerisle is "No Dying". Still unbroken!<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
Ephemerisle was founded in [[Ephemerisle_2009|2009]] by the Seasteading Institute in order to promote their vision of autonomous societies in the ocean. After the first year, the Seasteading Institute stepped aside due to prohibitively expensive insurance costs. A group of seasteaders and friends who had rented houseboats for the event decided to show up anyways for an informal "Not-ephemerisle" gathering. <br />
<br />
From [[Ephemerisle_2010|2010]] through [[Ephemerisle_2012|2012]], there was an informal coordinator who drew up the city plan and had some nominal decision-making power. In 2012, the Seasteading institute gave up any claims to the name "Ephemerisle" and the informal gathering took over the name.<br />
<br />
At the [[Ephemerisle_2013|2013]] event, the community came together and unanimously made a decision to break up the gathering from a single leadership team into a set of independent autonomous islands. <br />
<br />
That has been the nature of the event since. Groups of boats raft up together to form an island, and each island has a few rules, such as safety and quiet hours. People frequently visit other islands, and agree to comply with each island's rules while on it. Since [[Ephemerisle_2014|2014]], islands have risen and fallen, with change, fun, and ambitious decision-making the only constants.<br />
<br />
The full [[History of Ephemerisle]].<br />
<br />
== Culture ==<br />
After lively discussion in 2012 about the values that connect Ephemerislers as a community, the following received broad support: <br />
<br />
* '''Seasteading'''. Ephemerisle was started by [http://www.seasteading.org The Seasteading Institute] (TSI), a non-profit devoted the creation of long-term human communities on the water (aka [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasteading seasteading]). Although the event is now entirely community run, many of the attendees continue to be enthusiasts of living on the water. <br />
* '''Art'''. A society without art has no soul. Just as Burning Man has inspired art in the desert, [[Art Projects|we build art]] on the water. <br />
* '''Learning'''. One of the goals of TSI in starting Ephemerisle was to give people who may not have much boating experience the opportunity to gain nautical skills: anchoring, sailing, and ropework in a relatively safe environment. In addition, many of the attendees are scientists, engineers, artists, entrepreneurs and activists, who frequently have fascinating stories to tell. There are many opportunities to learn from each other at Ephemerisle. <br />
* '''Community'''. Spend a week rafted up on the Delta with awesome people, and you can't up but connect with old friends, and make new friends.<br />

<hr />
<div>A lack of toilets are a persistent problem at Ephemerisle. Arranging a way to handle your biowaste in a sanitary fashion is a key responsibility of every attendee. <br />
<br />
The sewage holding tanks on boats tend to be very small, and are expensive to pump out at Ephemerisle. Never use someone's toilet without asking first. <br />
<br />
If you've built a platform / art boat that guests will be living on, you will need a way to handle your guest's waste. A bucket toilet system is probably the simplest waste management system that is practical for a camp of 4 - 10 people. <br />
<br />
<br />
#### Calculations<br />
<br />
The average person produces 12 ml/kg/day of urine and 5 g/kg/day fecal matter. The average adult in the US weighs 82 kg (180 lbs), so that means each person produces ~1 L (34 oz) of urine, and ~0.41 kg (1 lb) of feces per day. If we assume that feces has the same density of water (1 g/mL), then 0.41 kg of feces takes up 0.41 L. <br />
<br />
Total volume of waste is therefore 1 L urine + 0.41 L feces = 1.41 L <br />
<br />
If we assume cover material and toilet paper are equal in volume, that means that the average person will produce a 3 L volume of waste per day. <br />
<br />
A 5 gallon bucket has a volume of ~19 liters. So, the average person will fill a bucket in about 6 days. <br />
<br />
A 40 lb (18.14 kg) bag of wood pellets contains 640 oz. A single bag should last a single person about 12 days, assuming 1.41 kg (50 oz) is used per day). <br />
<br />
So, a camp will need 1 bucket/person/week plus 20 lb bag of pellets/person/week. <br />
<br />
For a 10 person camp, that would be 10 buckets plus five 40 lb bags of pellets.<br />

<br />
#### Use<br />
<br />
1. Insert two composting bags into bucket. The extra bag helps prevent leaks if one bag is punctured. <br />
2. Secure the bags to toilet with a bungee cord or paracord using a constrictor knot. <br />
3. Attach toilet lid. <br />
5. Put a couple of scoops of cover material (wood pellets) into the inner before first use. You want a layer 2.5 - 5 cm deep. This will help absorb urine and prevent bad smells. <br />
6. Poop / pee. Wipe with toilet paper and drop paper into bucket. <br />
7. After use, scoop pellets over poop / pee from the second bucket until waste is no longer visible. It should take 2 - 3 cups. <br />
8. Wash hands with alcohol spray and dry with paper towels. <br />
9. To extend the use of toilet, put paper towels in trash can, not composting toilet. <br />
1. Periodically wipe down bucket seat with bleach solution. <br />
1. When bucket is full, tie bags together and transfer to a second bucket, and attach gamma lid until waste can be disposed. <br />
1. Dump bags into compost bin, compost pile, or trash bin. <br />

<br />
The three dots are great island locations.<br />
The larger dot is where the video of the beach is . It's a classic raft up and play area.<br />
So it's very close to bullfrog marina wich could probably get on board with parking and they have gas and all the essentials. Best mini mart on the water south of the river.<br />
Pirates lair is still accessible but further.<br />
Herman and Hellans come back into play.<br />
<br />
The green dot is holland. The blue dot is me and also disco bay. And the purple dot is ski beach<br />
<br />
shoot i would say less. If u consider mayje the Hilton house and the other duck club noise considerations then I would say there is less at Mildred tract. There's nothing but the bullfrog marina within miles.<br />
Great question really because what's ephemerisle without Bump City.<br />
Also it's the same county as mandeville wich has no sound ordinance wich has always been a perk of mandeville and Castaway island (three rivers reach officially).<br />
<br />
In 2009, it was an actual "festival" run by a non-profit, and sold tickets. It was not located at Mandeville where Be Love put the black dot.<br />
I'm not quite sure off-hand where it was, but it might have been near where Be Love is suggesting.<br />
Archer Torch Ships might know where it was on the map.<br />
2010 was the first year of Not-Ephemerisle and it happened at Mandeville where it has been ever since.<br />
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pmTM9hh_qM<br />
<br />
I believe the first Ephemerisle was held near where White Slough meets the main San Joaquin river channel (38.034800,-121.4715). Mandeville is at (38.062216, -121.532182).<br />

For the third year, The Pontunery Shade Platform returns to Ephemerisle to host live music jams, performances, and workshops on our beautiful floating porch.<br />
<br />
The Pontunery first arrived at Ephemerisle as a pontoon boat in 2016, hence the name. We rented a pontoon boat and transformed it into a live music jam space with comfortable seating and shade. In 2017 we created a 12x16 hand-built floating porch for waterside music playing and lounging in the shade. We have hosted karaoke, workshops and talks, a dance party, and much music-playing. <br />

Siren Island is modeled off the greek mythology of the Seirēn, it makes relevant the powerful untamed feminine that bestows healing powers and offers the wisdom of nature. Through archaeological and ethnographic research on the history and use of olive oil, our treatments revolve around oil bathing, giving the island its phrase ET OLEVM AD INFLVVNT, meaning “The Oil Will Flow.”<br />
We repair what has been stripped from our skin and teach what has been forgotten from our language. We commune with the earth and bathe in the harvest. They had nectar and ambrosia, but we have olive oil, and The Oil Will Flow.<br />

Also known as "Bust Out a Second Thousand".<br />
<br />
Workboats, interisland ferries, boats for nighttime island-hopping, marina pickup, boats to rescue your island's broken boat-small workboats make Ephemerisle possible. Boats also cost. Boats break. Boat storage costs. Boats use much more gas than cars. They also sometimes sink and cost money to recover. Ask us how we know.<br />
<br />
We have a 2019 crew in need of event workboats, and old workboats in need of that infamous "another thousand". Bust Out A Second Thousand will support workboats for art projects for the Arts And Entertainment District project. Please support our boating habit so you don't have to develop this addiction yourself.<br />

Ephemerisle! By popular demand, we bring you... TOILETS!<br />
<br />
Ephemerisle has no more rental houseboats, and with them went all of their toilet/holding tank infrastructure. That could be a shitty situation. So - let's pitch in for the Poop Deck 2019! We are also looking for a better loading system/a lift gate, so there is less wrestling of toilets onto trailers this year.<br />
<br />
Community toilets are following The Pontunery to it's 2019 site, and will be located at the Arts And Entertainment District, an art park of public hangout spaces, art, and art boat docks at Elysium Archipelago. <br />

If you camped on or near the Blues House last year at Ephemerisle, Sparr's generator was a key contribution to making the environment of the Blues House and the Mazapeta much quieter than it would otherwise have been. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, his generator didn't make it back to him.<br />
<br />
If you enjoy soundscapes less marred by noisy generators, please donate to help him pay for a replacement, so that we may continue to enjoy similar quiet at future Ephemerisle.<br />

Dear Ephemerisle Family,<br />
<br />
We are taking this opportunity to express our gratitude, the fundraiser was a phenomenal success with around 8k raised, this helps our ecstatic community stay afloat.The steadiness of our sail comes from the contributions of our volunteers, attendees and benefactors.<br />
<br />
While the wind carrying us is strong, we are 2k shy of our goal. The complete 10k affords the purchase of a work boat to reliably move the barge and act as a ferry for Elysium. We are soliciting donations for the next two weeks. If you have previously expressed an interest in contributing funds to keep our beloved barge project alive, helping close this financial gap is a great way to do it.<br />
<br />
If you can support us, please send a note to barge-admin@googlegroups.com - we take cash, crypto and we’ll broadcast your generosity to the community (or not, if you prefer).<br />
<br />
Or support the barge on an ongoing basis by joining our [https://www.patreon.com/bargey Patreon]. <br />

This 8'x 8' platform is designed to hold up to 2 people and allow them to tilt the platform and thus roll a ball by moving around. There are lots of interesting interfaces you could get out of having one or more people control a ball in this manner. It would be a chance for people to hone their sea legs in a game of balance. The platform could be reconfigurable, with different surfaces added or removed to switch games.<br />

<br />
From their site:<br />
<br />
''Our mission is to create a mobile community resource on which to explore the possibilities of art, performance, and seasteading while bringing boating into the world of art and art into the world of boating. Crew members from the project "Swimming Cities of Serenissima" by the artist Swoon have teamed up with an all star crew of Bay Area artists to salvage a 1945 hand crafted houseboat. We plan to convert the boat into a mobile artstead in the ad-hoc style of San Francisco's unique D.I.Y. arts community.<br />
<br />
''The Seasteading Institute has provided funding for the purchase of the boat and the rest is up to us! The boat has been lifted out of the water, repaired, and inspected. Once underway we have been utilizing recycled materials, including a converted Mercedes diesel car engine, to make the vision come to life. The next step is to move The Relentless from her current location in Bethel Island to the San Francisco Bay where she will continue to evolve through community input and ingenuity.''<br />

''Collaborators include: Ben Burke, Anja Ulfeldt, Anton Bertaux, Chicken John Rinaldi, James (Skippy) Cross, and many many more to come.''<br />

<div>Siren Island is modeled off the greek mythology of the Seirēn, it makes relevant the powerful untamed feminine that bestows healing powers and offers the wisdom of nature. Through archaeological and ethnographic research on the history and use of olive oil, our treatments revolve around oil bathing, giving the island its phrase ET OLEVM AD INFLVVNT, meaning “The Oil Will Flow.”<br />
We repair what has been stripped from our skin and teach what has been forgotten from our language. We commune with the earth and bathe in the harvest. They had nectar and ambrosia, but we have olive oil, and The Oil Will Flow.<br />

The Swimming Tree will grow from a floating platform that sits at the center of the Arts District and acts as a swimming dock. During the day, swimmers will relax on cushions under the tree’s shade. At night, lights will peak from the canopy and create a quiet and magical place. <br />

<br />
<br />
For the third year, The Pontunery Shade Platform returns to Ephemerisle to host live music jams, performances, and workshops on our beautiful floating porch.<br />
<br />
The Pontunery first arrived at Ephemerisle as a pontoon boat in 2016, hence the name. We rented a pontoon boat and transformed it into a live music jam space with comfortable seating and shade. In 2017 we created a 12x16 hand-built floating porch for waterside music playing and lounging in the shade. We have hosted karaoke, workshops and talks, a dance party, and much music-playing. <br />

Have You No Shame? An Interactive Social Hygiene Teaching Game<br />
<br />
Have You No Shame are a set of "Adopt-a-Shame" cards featuring festival and boating mishaps and social faux pas. Adopt someone else's abandoned Shame and pose for a proud photo as a new Shameparent. Look for the person who actually did the bad thing. <br />
Also, don't ever do that thing again.<br />
<br />
Have You No Shame may attempt to be a photo booth for 2019. There will at least be a cool sign, by Dawn Ho.<br />

Also known as "Bust Out a Second Thousand".<br />
<br />
Workboats, interisland ferries, boats for nighttime island-hopping, marina pickup, boats to rescue your island's broken boat-small workboats make Ephemerisle possible. Boats also cost. Boats break. Boat storage costs. Boats use much more gas than cars. They also sometimes sink and cost money to recover. Ask us how we know.<br />
<br />
We have a 2019 crew in need of event workboats, and old workboats in need of that infamous "another thousand". Bust Out A Second Thousand will support workboats for art projects for the Arts And Entertainment District project. Please support our boating habit so you don't have to develop this addiction yourself.<br />

Ephemerisle! By popular demand, we bring you... TOILETS!<br />
<br />
Ephemerisle has no more rental houseboats, and with them went all of their toilet/holding tank infrastructure. That could be a shitty situation. So - let's pitch in for the Poop Deck 2019! We are also looking for a better loading system/a lift gate, so there is less wrestling of toilets onto trailers this year.<br />
<br />
Community toilets are following The Pontunery to it's 2019 site, and will be located at the Arts And Entertainment District, an art park of public hangout spaces, art, and art boat docks at Elysium Archipelago. <br />

If you camped on or near the Blues House last year at Ephemerisle, Sparr's generator was a key contribution to making the environment of the Blues House and the Mazapeta much quieter than it would otherwise have been. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, his generator didn't make it back to him.<br />
<br />
If you enjoy soundscapes less marred by noisy generators, please donate to help him pay for a replacement, so that we may continue to enjoy similar quiet at future Ephemerisle.<br />

Dear Ephemerisle Family,<br />
<br />
We are taking this opportunity to express our gratitude, the fundraiser was a phenomenal success with around 8k raised, this helps our ecstatic community stay afloat.The steadiness of our sail comes from the contributions of our volunteers, attendees and benefactors.<br />
<br />
While the wind carrying us is strong, we are 2k shy of our goal. The complete 10k affords the purchase of a work boat to reliably move the barge and act as a ferry for Elysium. We are soliciting donations for the next two weeks. If you have previously expressed an interest in contributing funds to keep our beloved barge project alive, helping close this financial gap is a great way to do it.<br />
<br />
If you can support us, please send a note to barge-admin@googlegroups.com - we take cash, crypto and we’ll broadcast your generosity to the community (or not, if you prefer).<br />
<br />
Or support the barge on an ongoing basis by joining our [https://www.patreon.com/bargey Patreon]. <br />

<br />
This 8'x 8' platform is designed to hold up to 2 people and allow them to tilt the platform and thus roll a ball by moving around. There are lots of interesting interfaces you could get out of having one or more people control a ball in this manner. It would be a chance for people to hone their sea legs in a game of balance. The platform could be reconfigurable, with different surfaces added or removed to switch games.<br />

Kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2115247821/the-relentless-artstead-boat-project<br />
<br />
From their site:<br />
<br />
''Our mission is to create a mobile community resource on which to explore the possibilities of art, performance, and seasteading while bringing boating into the world of art and art into the world of boating. Crew members from the project "Swimming Cities of Serenissima" by the artist Swoon have teamed up with an all star crew of Bay Area artists to salvage a 1945 hand crafted houseboat. We plan to convert the boat into a mobile artstead in the ad-hoc style of San Francisco's unique D.I.Y. arts community.<br />
<br />
''The Seasteading Institute has provided funding for the purchase of the boat and the rest is up to us! The boat has been lifted out of the water, repaired, and inspected. Once underway we have been utilizing recycled materials, including a converted Mercedes diesel car engine, to make the vision come to life. The next step is to move The Relentless from her current location in Bethel Island to the San Francisco Bay where she will continue to evolve through community input and ingenuity.''<br />
<br />
''Collaborators include: Ben Burke, Anja Ulfeldt, Anton Bertaux, Chicken John Rinaldi, James (Skippy) Cross, and many many more to come.''<br />

The Ripple Theater used the ripples in the water as an analog ray-tracer to create trippy visual effects from a projector's image. People dancing on platforms nearby created ripples in time with the music, which then created synced visuals on the screen. <br />

===Jason Loger's Tugboat===<br />
<br />
<br />
Hi, I have 6-8 bunks available to rent out as well as tent space available on deck aboard a 65ft former coast guard tug/research vessel. $400 a bunk per night. Also the boat is fully air conditioned and has a fully functional galley and head/shower when the generator is running. However having the generator run would be a additional charge. The boat will be coming down the coast from Washington next week and wether permitting will be available starting the 22nd. I would also be willing to do a group rate if the boat was rented to one group. PM me if interested.<br />

For the third year, The Pontunery Shade Platform returns to Ephemerisle to host live music jams, performances, and workshops on our beautiful floating porch.<br />
<br />
The Pontunery first arrived at Ephemerisle as a pontoon boat in 2016, hence the name. We rented a pontoon boat and transformed it into a live music jam space with comfortable seating and shade. In 2017 we created a 12x16 hand-built floating porch for waterside music playing and lounging in the shade. We have hosted karaoke, workshops and talks, a dance party, and much music-playing. <br />

<br />
Workboats, interisland ferries, boats for nighttime island-hopping, marina pickup, boats to rescue your island's broken boat-small workboats make Ephemerisle possible. Boats also cost. Boats break. Boat storage costs. Boats use much more gas than cars. They also sometimes sink and cost money to recover. Ask us how we know.<br />
<br />
We have a 2019 crew in need of event workboats, and old workboats in need of that infamous "another thousand". Bust Out A Second Thousand will support workboats for art projects for the Arts And Entertainment District project. Please support our boating habit so you don't have to develop this addiction yourself.<br />

Ephemerisle! By popular demand, we bring you... TOILETS!<br />
<br />
Ephemerisle has no more rental houseboats, and with them went all of their toilet/holding tank infrastructure. That could be a shitty situation. So - let's pitch in for the Poop Deck 2019! We are also looking for a better loading system/a lift gate, so there is less wrestling of toilets onto trailers this year.<br />
<br />
Community toilets are following The Pontunery to it's 2019 site, and will be located at the Arts And Entertainment District, an art park of public hangout spaces, art, and art boat docks at Elysium Archipelago. <br />

If you camped on or near the Blues House last year at Ephemerisle, Sparr's generator was a key contribution to making the environment of the Blues House and the Mazapeta much quieter than it would otherwise have been. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, his generator didn't make it back to him.<br />
<br />
If you enjoy soundscapes less marred by noisy generators, please donate to help him pay for a replacement, so that we may continue to enjoy similar quiet at future Ephemerisle.<br />

Dear Ephemerisle Family,<br />
<br />
We are taking this opportunity to express our gratitude, the fundraiser was a phenomenal success with around 8k raised, this helps our ecstatic community stay afloat.The steadiness of our sail comes from the contributions of our volunteers, attendees and benefactors.<br />
<br />
While the wind carrying us is strong, we are 2k shy of our goal. The complete 10k affords the purchase of a work boat to reliably move the barge and act as a ferry for Elysium. We are soliciting donations for the next two weeks. If you have previously expressed an interest in contributing funds to keep our beloved barge project alive, helping close this financial gap is a great way to do it.<br />
<br />
If you can support us, please send a note to barge-admin@googlegroups.com - we take cash, crypto and we’ll broadcast your generosity to the community (or not, if you prefer).<br />
<br />
Or support the barge on an ongoing basis by joining our [https://www.patreon.com/bargey Patreon]. <br />

It took 50 gallons of propane in rented tanks, an entire roll of 1/4 inch neoprene, 2 above ground pools, 5-10 cans of 3m 80 spray adhesive, 150' of PVC pipe, and several hundred wo-man-hours on everything from gluing insulation, to building and decorating the shade structure, to repairing the hot tub heater and filtration system.<br />

This 8'x 8' platform is designed to hold up to 2 people and allow them to tilt the platform and thus roll a ball by moving around. There are lots of interesting interfaces you could get out of having one or more people control a ball in this manner. It would be a chance for people to hone their sea legs in a game of balance. The platform could be reconfigurable, with different surfaces added or removed to switch games.<br />

<br />
From their site:<br />
<br />
''Our mission is to create a mobile community resource on which to explore the possibilities of art, performance, and seasteading while bringing boating into the world of art and art into the world of boating. Crew members from the project "Swimming Cities of Serenissima" by the artist Swoon have teamed up with an all star crew of Bay Area artists to salvage a 1945 hand crafted houseboat. We plan to convert the boat into a mobile artstead in the ad-hoc style of San Francisco's unique D.I.Y. arts community.<br />
<br />
''The Seasteading Institute has provided funding for the purchase of the boat and the rest is up to us! The boat has been lifted out of the water, repaired, and inspected. Once underway we have been utilizing recycled materials, including a converted Mercedes diesel car engine, to make the vision come to life. The next step is to move The Relentless from her current location in Bethel Island to the San Francisco Bay where she will continue to evolve through community input and ingenuity.''<br />

''Collaborators include: Ben Burke, Anja Ulfeldt, Anton Bertaux, Chicken John Rinaldi, James (Skippy) Cross, and many many more to come.''<br />

A living tree installation. <br />
<br />
The Swimming Tree will grow from a floating platform that sits at the center of the Arts District and acts as a swimming dock. During the day, swimmers will relax on cushions under the tree’s shade. At night, lights will peak from the canopy and create a quiet and magical place. <br />

<br />
For the third year, The Pontunery Shade Platform returns to Ephemerisle to host live music jams, performances, and workshops on our beautiful floating porch.<br />
<br />
The Pontunery first arrived at Ephemerisle as a pontoon boat in 2016, hence the name. We rented a pontoon boat and transformed it into a live music jam space with comfortable seating and shade. In 2017 we created a 12x16 hand-built floating porch for waterside music playing and lounging in the shade. We have hosted karaoke, workshops and talks, a dance party, and much music-playing. <br />

Have You No Shame? An Interactive Social Hygiene Teaching Game<br />
<br />
Have You No Shame are a set of "Adopt-a-Shame" cards featuring festival and boating mishaps and social faux pas. Adopt someone else's abandoned Shame and pose for a proud photo as a new Shameparent. Look for the person who actually did the bad thing. <br />
Also, don't ever do that thing again.<br />
<br />
Have You No Shame may attempt to be a photo booth for 2019. There will at least be a cool sign, by Dawn Ho.<br />

Also known as "Bust Out a Second Thousand".<br />
<br />
Workboats, interisland ferries, boats for nighttime island-hopping, marina pickup, boats to rescue your island's broken boat-small workboats make Ephemerisle possible. Boats also cost. Boats break. Boat storage costs. Boats use much more gas than cars. They also sometimes sink and cost money to recover. Ask us how we know.<br />
<br />
We have a 2019 crew in need of event workboats, and old workboats in need of that infamous "another thousand". Bust Out A Second Thousand will support workboats for art projects for the Arts And Entertainment District project. Please support our boating habit so you don't have to develop this addiction yourself.<br />

Ephemerisle! By popular demand, we bring you... TOILETS!<br />
<br />
Ephemerisle has no more rental houseboats, and with them went all of their toilet/holding tank infrastructure. That could be a shitty situation. So - let's pitch in for the Poop Deck 2019! We are also looking for a better loading system/a lift gate, so there is less wrestling of toilets onto trailers this year.<br />
<br />
Community toilets are following The Pontunery to it's 2019 site, and will be located at the Arts And Entertainment District, an art park of public hangout spaces, art, and art boat docks at Elysium Archipelago. <br />

If you camped on or near the Blues House last year at Ephemerisle, Sparr's generator was a key contribution to making the environment of the Blues House and the Mazapeta much quieter than it would otherwise have been. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, his generator didn't make it back to him.<br />
<br />
If you enjoy soundscapes less marred by noisy generators, please donate to help him pay for a replacement, so that we may continue to enjoy similar quiet at future Ephemerisle.<br />

Dear Ephemerisle Family,<br />
<br />
We are taking this opportunity to express our gratitude, the fundraiser was a phenomenal success with around 8k raised, this helps our ecstatic community stay afloat.The steadiness of our sail comes from the contributions of our volunteers, attendees and benefactors.<br />
<br />
While the wind carrying us is strong, we are 2k shy of our goal. The complete 10k affords the purchase of a work boat to reliably move the barge and act as a ferry for Elysium. We are soliciting donations for the next two weeks. If you have previously expressed an interest in contributing funds to keep our beloved barge project alive, helping close this financial gap is a great way to do it.<br />
<br />
If you can support us, please send a note to barge-admin@googlegroups.com - we take cash, crypto and we’ll broadcast your generosity to the community (or not, if you prefer).<br />

This 8'x 8' platform is designed to hold up to 2 people and allow them to tilt the platform and thus roll a ball by moving around. There are lots of interesting interfaces you could get out of having one or more people control a ball in this manner. It would be a chance for people to hone their sea legs in a game of balance. The platform could be reconfigurable, with different surfaces added or removed to switch games.<br />

<br />
From their site:<br />
<br />
''Our mission is to create a mobile community resource on which to explore the possibilities of art, performance, and seasteading while bringing boating into the world of art and art into the world of boating. Crew members from the project "Swimming Cities of Serenissima" by the artist Swoon have teamed up with an all star crew of Bay Area artists to salvage a 1945 hand crafted houseboat. We plan to convert the boat into a mobile artstead in the ad-hoc style of San Francisco's unique D.I.Y. arts community.<br />
<br />
''The Seasteading Institute has provided funding for the purchase of the boat and the rest is up to us! The boat has been lifted out of the water, repaired, and inspected. Once underway we have been utilizing recycled materials, including a converted Mercedes diesel car engine, to make the vision come to life. The next step is to move The Relentless from her current location in Bethel Island to the San Francisco Bay where she will continue to evolve through community input and ingenuity.''<br />

''Collaborators include: Ben Burke, Anja Ulfeldt, Anton Bertaux, Chicken John Rinaldi, James (Skippy) Cross, and many many more to come.''<br />

<br />
The Ripple Theater used the ripples in the water as an analog ray-tracer to create trippy visual effects from a projector's image. People dancing on platforms nearby created ripples in time with the music, which then created synced visuals on the screen. <br />

The Swimming Tree will grow from a floating platform that sits at the center of the Arts District and acts as a swimming dock. During the day, swimmers will relax on cushions under the tree’s shade. At night, lights will peak from the canopy and create a quiet and magical place. <br />

<br />
<br />
For the third year, The Pontunery Shade Platform returns to Ephemerisle to host live music jams, performances, and workshops on our beautiful floating porch.<br />
<br />
The Pontunery first arrived at Ephemerisle as a pontoon boat in 2016, hence the name. We rented a pontoon boat and transformed it into a live music jam space with comfortable seating and shade. In 2017 we created a 12x16 hand-built floating porch for waterside music playing and lounging in the shade. We have hosted karaoke, workshops and talks, a dance party, and much music-playing. <br />

Have You No Shame are a set of "Adopt-a-Shame" cards featuring festival and boating mishaps and social faux pas. Adopt someone else's abandoned Shame and pose for a proud photo as a new Shameparent. Look for the person who actually did the bad thing. <br />
Also, don't ever do that thing again.<br />

Have You No Shame may attempt to be a photo booth for 2019. There will at least be a cool sign, by Dawn Ho.<br />

Also known as "Bust Out a Second Thousand".<br />
<br />
Workboats, interisland ferries, boats for nighttime island-hopping, marina pickup, boats to rescue your island's broken boat-small workboats make Ephemerisle possible. Boats also cost. Boats break. Boat storage costs. Boats use much more gas than cars. They also sometimes sink and cost money to recover. Ask us how we know.<br />
<br />
We have a 2019 crew in need of event workboats, and old workboats in need of that infamous "another thousand". Bust Out A Second Thousand will support workboats for art projects for the Arts And Entertainment District project. Please support our boating habit so you don't have to develop this addiction yourself.<br />

Ephemerisle! By popular demand, we bring you... TOILETS!<br />
<br />
Ephemerisle has no more rental houseboats, and with them went all of their toilet/holding tank infrastructure. That could be a shitty situation. So - let's pitch in for the Poop Deck 2019! We are also looking for a better loading system/a lift gate, so there is less wrestling of toilets onto trailers this year.<br />
<br />
Community toilets are following The Pontunery to it's 2019 site, and will be located at the Arts And Entertainment District, an art park of public hangout spaces, art, and art boat docks at Elysium Archipelago. <br />

If you camped on or near the Blues House last year at Ephemerisle, Sparr's generator was a key contribution to making the environment of the Blues House and the Mazapeta much quieter than it would otherwise have been. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, his generator didn't make it back to him.<br />
<br />
If you enjoy soundscapes less marred by noisy generators, please donate to help him pay for a replacement, so that we may continue to enjoy similar quiet at future Ephemerisle.<br />

<br />
This 8'x 8' platform is designed to hold up to 2 people and allow them to tilt the platform and thus roll a ball by moving around. There are lots of interesting interfaces you could get out of having one or more people control a ball in this manner. It would be a chance for people to hone their sea legs in a game of balance. The platform could be reconfigurable, with different surfaces added or removed to switch games.<br />

Kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2115247821/the-relentless-artstead-boat-project<br />
<br />
From their site:<br />
<br />
''Our mission is to create a mobile community resource on which to explore the possibilities of art, performance, and seasteading while bringing boating into the world of art and art into the world of boating. Crew members from the project "Swimming Cities of Serenissima" by the artist Swoon have teamed up with an all star crew of Bay Area artists to salvage a 1945 hand crafted houseboat. We plan to convert the boat into a mobile artstead in the ad-hoc style of San Francisco's unique D.I.Y. arts community.<br />
<br />
''The Seasteading Institute has provided funding for the purchase of the boat and the rest is up to us! The boat has been lifted out of the water, repaired, and inspected. Once underway we have been utilizing recycled materials, including a converted Mercedes diesel car engine, to make the vision come to life. The next step is to move The Relentless from her current location in Bethel Island to the San Francisco Bay where she will continue to evolve through community input and ingenuity.''<br />
<br />
''Collaborators include: Ben Burke, Anja Ulfeldt, Anton Bertaux, Chicken John Rinaldi, James (Skippy) Cross, and many many more to come.''<br />

The Ripple Theater used the ripples in the water as an analog ray-tracer to create trippy visual effects from a projector's image. People dancing on platforms nearby created ripples in time with the music, which then created synced visuals on the screen. <br />

<br />
For the third year, The Pontunery Shade Platform returns to Ephemerisle to host live music jams, performances, and workshops on our beautiful floating porch.<br />
<br />
The Pontunery first arrived at Ephemerisle as a pontoon boat in 2016, hence the name. We rented a pontoon boat and transformed it into a live music jam space with comfortable seating and shade. In 2017 we created a 12x16 hand-built floating porch for waterside music playing and lounging in the shade. We have hosted karaoke, workshops and talks, a dance party, and much music-playing. <br />

Have You No Shame are a set of "Adopt-a-Shame" cards featuring festival and boating mishaps and social faux pas. Adopt someone else's abandoned Shame and pose for a proud photo as a new Shameparent. Look for the person who actually did the bad thing. <br />
Also, don't ever do that thing again.<br />

Also known as "Bust Out a Second Thousand".<br />
<br />
Workboats, interisland ferries, boats for nighttime island-hopping, marina pickup, boats to rescue your island's broken boat-small workboats make Ephemerisle possible. Boats also cost. Boats break. Boat storage costs. Boats use much more gas than cars. They also sometimes sink and cost money to recover. Ask us how we know.<br />
<br />
We have a 2019 crew in need of event workboats, and old workboats in need of that infamous "another thousand". Bust Out A Second Thousand will support workboats for art projects for the Arts And Entertainment District project. Please support our boating habit so you don't have to develop this addiction yourself.<br />

Ephemerisle! By popular demand, we bring you... TOILETS!<br />
<br />
Ephemerisle has no more rental houseboats, and with them went all of their toilet/holding tank infrastructure. That could be a shitty situation. So - let's pitch in for the Poop Deck 2019! We are also looking for a better loading system/a lift gate, so there is less wrestling of toilets onto trailers this year.<br />
<br />
Community toilets are following The Pontunery to it's 2019 site, and will be located at the Arts And Entertainment District, an art park of public hangout spaces, art, and art boat docks at Elysium Archipelago. <br />

If you camped on or near the Blues House last year at Ephemerisle, Sparr's generator was a key contribution to making the environment of the Blues House and the Mazapeta much quieter than it would otherwise have been. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, his generator didn't make it back to him.<br />
<br />
If you enjoy soundscapes less marred by noisy generators, please donate to help him pay for a replacement, so that we may continue to enjoy similar quiet at future Ephemerisle.<br />

<br />
This 8'x 8' platform is designed to hold up to 2 people and allow them to tilt the platform and thus roll a ball by moving around. There are lots of interesting interfaces you could get out of having one or more people control a ball in this manner. It would be a chance for people to hone their sea legs in a game of balance. The platform could be reconfigurable, with different surfaces added or removed to switch games.<br />

Kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2115247821/the-relentless-artstead-boat-project<br />
<br />
From their site:<br />
<br />
''Our mission is to create a mobile community resource on which to explore the possibilities of art, performance, and seasteading while bringing boating into the world of art and art into the world of boating. Crew members from the project "Swimming Cities of Serenissima" by the artist Swoon have teamed up with an all star crew of Bay Area artists to salvage a 1945 hand crafted houseboat. We plan to convert the boat into a mobile artstead in the ad-hoc style of San Francisco's unique D.I.Y. arts community.<br />
<br />
''The Seasteading Institute has provided funding for the purchase of the boat and the rest is up to us! The boat has been lifted out of the water, repaired, and inspected. Once underway we have been utilizing recycled materials, including a converted Mercedes diesel car engine, to make the vision come to life. The next step is to move The Relentless from her current location in Bethel Island to the San Francisco Bay where she will continue to evolve through community input and ingenuity.''<br />
<br />
''Collaborators include: Ben Burke, Anja Ulfeldt, Anton Bertaux, Chicken John Rinaldi, James (Skippy) Cross, and many many more to come.''<br />

<br />
The Ripple Theater used the ripples in the water as an analog ray-tracer to create trippy visual effects from a projector's image. People dancing on platforms nearby created ripples in time with the music, which then created synced visuals on the screen. <br />

The Swimming Tree will grow from a floating platform that sits at the center of the Arts District and acts as a swimming dock. During the day, swimmers will relax on cushions under the tree’s shade. At night, lights will peak from the canopy and create a quiet and magical place. <br />

<br />
For the third year, The Pontunery Shade Platform returns to Ephemerisle to host live music jams, performances, and workshops on our beautiful floating porch.<br />
<br />
The Pontunery first arrived at Ephemerisle as a pontoon boat in 2016, hence the name. We rented a pontoon boat and transformed it into a live music jam space with comfortable seating and shade. In 2017 we created a 12x16 hand-built floating porch for waterside music playing and lounging in the shade. We have hosted karaoke, workshops and talks, a dance party, and much music-playing. <br />

Have You No Shame are a set of "Adopt-a-Shame" cards featuring festival and boating mishaps and social faux pas. Adopt someone else's abandoned Shame and pose for a proud photo as a new Shameparent. Look for the person who actually did the bad thing. <br />
Also, don't ever do that thing again.<br />

Also known as "Bust Out a Second Thousand".<br />
<br />
Workboats, interisland ferries, boats for nighttime island-hopping, marina pickup, boats to rescue your island's broken boat-small workboats make Ephemerisle possible. Boats also cost. Boats break. Boat storage costs. Boats use much more gas than cars. They also sometimes sink and cost money to recover. Ask us how we know.<br />
<br />
We have a 2019 crew in need of event workboats, and old workboats in need of that infamous "another thousand". Bust Out A Second Thousand will support workboats for art projects for the Arts And Entertainment District project. Please support our boating habit so you don't have to develop this addiction yourself.<br />

Ephemerisle! By popular demand, we bring you... TOILETS!<br />
<br />
Ephemerisle has no more rental houseboats, and with them went all of their toilet/holding tank infrastructure. That could be a shitty situation. So - let's pitch in for the Poop Deck 2019! We are also looking for a better loading system/a lift gate, so there is less wrestling of toilets onto trailers this year.<br />
<br />
Community toilets are following The Pontunery to it's 2019 site, and will be located at the Arts And Entertainment District, an art park of public hangout spaces, art, and art boat docks at Elysium Archipelago. <br />

=== Replace Sparr's generator ===<br />

----<br />
<br />
If you camped on or near the Blues House last year at Ephemerisle, Sparr's generator was a key contribution to making the environment of the Blues House and the Mazapeta much quieter than it would otherwise have been. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, his generator didn't make it back to him.<br />
<br />
If you enjoy soundscapes less marred by noisy generators, please donate to help him pay for a replacement, so that we may continue to enjoy similar quiet at future Ephemerisle.<br />

With lots of padding and pillows on the floor, this shelter from wind and sun was a chill space for festival attendees, showing art during daytime and evening hours. After hours this was a sleeping space for many of those who helped make it happen.<br />

<br />
This 8'x 8' platform is designed to hold up to 2 people and allow them to tilt the platform and thus roll a ball by moving around. There are lots of interesting interfaces you could get out of having one or more people control a ball in this manner. It would be a chance for people to hone their sea legs in a game of balance. The platform could be reconfigurable, with different surfaces added or removed to switch games.<br />

Kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2115247821/the-relentless-artstead-boat-project<br />
<br />
From their site:<br />
<br />
''Our mission is to create a mobile community resource on which to explore the possibilities of art, performance, and seasteading while bringing boating into the world of art and art into the world of boating. Crew members from the project "Swimming Cities of Serenissima" by the artist Swoon have teamed up with an all star crew of Bay Area artists to salvage a 1945 hand crafted houseboat. We plan to convert the boat into a mobile artstead in the ad-hoc style of San Francisco's unique D.I.Y. arts community.<br />
<br />
''The Seasteading Institute has provided funding for the purchase of the boat and the rest is up to us! The boat has been lifted out of the water, repaired, and inspected. Once underway we have been utilizing recycled materials, including a converted Mercedes diesel car engine, to make the vision come to life. The next step is to move The Relentless from her current location in Bethel Island to the San Francisco Bay where she will continue to evolve through community input and ingenuity.''<br />
<br />
''Collaborators include: Ben Burke, Anja Ulfeldt, Anton Bertaux, Chicken John Rinaldi, James (Skippy) Cross, and many many more to come.''<br />

The Ripple Theater used the ripples in the water as an analog ray-tracer to create trippy visual effects from a projector's image. People dancing on platforms nearby created ripples in time with the music, which then created synced visuals on the screen. <br />

<div>While taking apart the city there were a lot of very bad knots. Generally speaking a good knot not only holds whatever it is designed to, but is also easy to untie. Knots on top of knots on top of knots, shows a lack of confidence that the original knot will hold.<br />

<div>Although Ephemerisle takes place on the water, fire is also a large large risk. A boat cabin can fill with blinding, poisonous smoke in just a few minutes. For example, here's a story about a couple who survived a boat fire:<br />
<br />
http://www.boatus.com/magazine/2014/october/fire-onboard.asp<br />
<br />
Therefore, here's ten suggestions for how to prevent/respond to fire:<br />
<br />
1. Prevent fires in the first place by keeping your boat in ship-shape condition. Most boat fires are caused due to faulty electrical systems. Inspect your electrical systems at least once per month. Tighten loose connections, replace corroded wire ends and terminals, secure and support all wiring to protect it from chafe and vibration, and replace battery switches that are more than 15 years old.<br />
<br />
2. Have a plan ready in advance for how to respond to a fire. Post, in prominent locations, diagrams of your vessel showing the location of all portable extinguishers as well as the controls for permanently mounted units (such as those in the engine room).<br />
<br />
3. Practice fire drills with your crew in advance. Post simple instructions and provide training on operation of VHF radios and how to determine vessel location (reading coordinates from a chartplotter, for example). Make sure your crew knows when it's worth trying to fight the fire, and when it's time to give up and get off the boat. <br />
<br />
4. Install ABC-rated fire extinguishers in easily visible/accessible locations. <br />
<br />
http://www.boatus.com/boattech/articles/fire-extinguishers.asp <br />
<br />
Practice operating the extinguishers during your drills. Remember "PASS":<br />
<br />
1. P: PULL the safety pin.<br />
<br />
2. A: AIM the extinguisher at the base of the fire.<br />
<br />
3. S: SQUEEZE the handle.<br />
<br />
4. S: SWEEP the hose from side to side while discharging.<br />
<br />
5. Keep exit pathways clear at all times. Install emergency lighting around exits and along pathways. <br />
<br />
6. Install smoke/CO2 detectors in every cabin. Set up a testing and maintenance schedule. <br />
<br />
7. Make sure you and your crew know the location of shutoff valves and switches for electrical, fuel, and LPG or CNG systems. <br />
<br />
8. Make sure your crew know how to untie, and de-anchor in a hurry. Many boat fires occur because one boat catches fire, and then starts nearby boats on fire. <br />
<br />
9. Given the high incidence of fires in the engine area, consider installing fire port so that you can suppress the fire without having to open the compartment. <br />
<br />
10. Store fuel away from sources of heat/spark, stow fuel properly so that it can't spill/slosh. For fire performers, keeping your fuel store away from your fire poi, fire staff, etc. is especially important. <br />

<div>Learning how to tie knots and handle rope properly are essential skills to safe boating. Generally speaking, a good knot holds whatever it is designed to, and is also easy to untie. <br />
<br />
Sailors will disagree over which knots are "best" to learn, but the knots below are reasonable choices--learning them well will significantly improve your capabilities on the water. Many of them are also useful for other outdoor activities, such as hiking, climbing, and camping, so you will likely be able to use them outside of Ephemerisle. <br />
<br />
As with any skill, knot tying is a "use it or lose it" skill. Ideally, you want to be so proficient that you can tie these knots rapidly from many different angles, and under varying conditions (cold, rain, heat, fatigue, wind, and darkness). This will require regular, frequent practice. The best way to do this is to get out on the water regularly. However, that may not be easy to do, so another way is to make or buy a [https://www.amazon.com/Pro-Knot-Outdoor-Knots-John-Sherry/dp/0922273227 pocket knot tying guide] and practice with a bit of paracord when watching TV, standing in line at the grocery store, on the bus, etc. You should be able to tie these knots with gloves, in the dark, and with your hands behind your back. "Don’t practice until you get it right. Practice until you can’t get it wrong."<br />
<br />
If you don't remember how to tie a knot, ask the owner of the boat you are using to show you. Failing that, ask any Ephemerisler nearby if they know. Most will be happy to help. It's much better to suffer the minor embarrassment of asking for help, than the guilt damaging someone's expensive boat, or causing injury to someone else. Please ask before tying up to someone else's boat. If in a small craft, avoid tying to cleats used for anchor lines or cleats used to raft boats together. Sometimes boats need to be de-rafted or de-anchored in hurry, and a rat's nest of small craft lines can critically delay the process. <br />
<br />
== Knots everyone should know == <br />
<br />
These are knots that everyone at Ephemerisle should know (or functional equivalents), in order to not be a hazard to life and property. <br />
<br />
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_CwsRKZOJE Bowline] - Versatile knot which forms a strong loop, yet unties easily even after being under load. Use to tie a rope to a ring/pole/cleat, create a loop to throw to a person in trouble, and tie two ropes together. Can be tied with one hand in a few seconds, which is useful if you are injured, holding another line, or need to act quickly. If you learn only one knot, learn this one! Note that the bowline can work loose if not under load, and is easy to get wrong. For an additional safety factor, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEBSCg5scQM finish the bowline with double-overhand knot]. <br />
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7XGTIcQImQ Cleat Hitch] - Use this to attach dock lines to a cleat. <br />
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UjBGZu7UQg Slipped Buntline Hitch] - Use this to temporarily tie up a dinghy or a kayak. A good temporary knot which will hold, but comes undone with one pull. <br />
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmT4GMQXeYY Butterfly Coil] - Ropes and lines must be coiled and stored properly, or else they will knot and tangle, making it difficult or impossible to deploy when needed. The butterfly coil is one method of of coiling rope so that it can be stored and deployed without twists/knots. If you have a very long rope, or limited arm strength, you can [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfvioMwTVUo butterfly coil the rope over your neck], instead of your arm.<br />

<hr />
<div>Learning how to tie knots and handle rope properly are essential skills to safe boating. Generally speaking, a good knot holds whatever it is designed to, and is also easy to untie. <br />
<br />
Sailors will disagree over which knots are "best" to learn, but the knots below are reasonable choices--learning them well will significantly improve your capabilities on the water. Many of them are also useful for other outdoor activities, such as hiking, climbing, and camping, so you will likely be able to use them outside of Ephemerisle. <br />
<br />
As with any skill, knot tying is "use it or lose it" skill. Ideally, you want to be so proficient that you can tie these knots rapidly from many different angles, and under varying conditions (cold, rain, heat, fatigue, wind, and darkness). This will require regular, frequent practice. The best way to do this is to get out on the water regularly. However, that may not be easy to do, so another way is to make or buy a [https://www.amazon.com/Pro-Knot-Outdoor-Knots-John-Sherry/dp/0922273227 pocket knot tying guide] and practice with a bit of paracord when watching TV, standing in line at the grocery store, on the bus, etc. You should be able to tie these knots with gloves, in the dark, and with your hands behind your back. "Don’t practice until you get it right. Practice until you can’t get it wrong."<br />
<br />
If you don't remember how to tie a knot, ask the owner of the boat you are using to show you. Failing that, ask any Ephemerisler nearby if they know. Most will be happy to help. It's much better to suffer the minor embarrassment of asking for help, than damaging someone's expensive boat, or causing injury to someone else. Please ask before tying up to someone else's boat. If in a small craft, avoid tying to cleats used for anchor lines or cleats used to raft boats together. Sometimes boats need to be de-rafted or de-anchored in hurry, and a rat's nest of small craft lines can critically delay the process. <br />

These are knots that everyone at Ephemerisle should know (or functional equivalents), in order to not be a hazard to life and property. <br />

* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_CwsRKZOJE Bowline] - Versatile knot which forms a strong loop, yet unties easily even after being under load. Use to tie a rope to a ring/pole/cleat, create a loop to throw to a person in trouble, and tie two ropes together. Can be tied with one hand in a few seconds, which is useful if you are injured, holding another line, or need to act quickly. If you learn only one knot, learn this one! Note that the bowline can work loose if not under load, and is easy to get wrong.

* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmT4GMQXeYY Butterfly Coil] - Ropes and lines must be coiled and stored properly, or else they will knot and tangle, making it difficult or impossible to deploy when needed. The butterfly coil is one method of of coiling rope so that it can be stored and deployed without twists/knots.

Sailors will disagree over which knots are "best" to learn, but the knots below are reasonable choices--learning them well will significantly improve your capabilities on the water.

<br />
As with any skill, knot tying is "use it or lose it" skill. Ideally, you want to be so proficient that you can tie these knots rapidly from many different angles, and under varying conditions (cold, rain, heat, fatigue, wind). This will require regular, frequent practice. The best way to do this is to get out on the water regularly. However, that may not be easy to do, so another way is to make or buy a [https://www.amazon.com/Pro-Knot-Outdoor-Knots-John-Sherry/dp/0922273227 pocket knot tying guide] and practice with a bit of paracord when watching TV, standing in line at the grocery store, on the bus, etc. You should be able to tie these knots with gloves, in the dark, and with your hands behind your back.
