I just spent half a hour transferring the stuff I don't know into a larger box.
For years I have been making a little sissy loop in a line every time I tie a bowline. Works fine for the end of a dockline you tie in in your lap.
But when, tying a preventer on a boom over your head, or passing a line around a pier , that little loop is awkward.
Why? Because to my surprise, that ain't the right way to do it.
But then, you knew that already.
