           On the sea, we see like a tail come
        down from a cloud, and touch the
        see. Inside of the tail come up tons of
       water toward the cloud . Suddenly,
       we didn´t see the tail, but all the water,
       contained in the cloud, come down
       on the sea.
       To see from a distance.
 
 
 

 

         This figure is a continuation
            of  "canoe".
 

      A. Do the canoe.
          You have a loop on sur 1,
          three on 2 and one on 5.

     B. 1 passes above the oblique
          string crossing 2 (the loop
          1 slips off).
          1 picks up the palmar
          string, and draws through
          his loop, which slips off.
          Release 5.
 

     C. 5, passes over  2f, and
          picks up 2n (transverse
          string).

          You have a loop on 1,
          three on 2 and one on 5.

     D. 2 passes over his string f,
          and staighten toward
          you, catching 2f.

     E. Extend the figure
          separating  1 and 2.
          1n must to be parallel
          to 2f.
          Arrange if need.
 

          The extension is rather
          difficult.

         This figure begins like
            "Dance".
 
 
 
 
 

     A. 1 and 2 hold a segment
          of the loop.
          A small segment must to
          pass between the hands.
          Pass the right half of the
          segment, in front of the
          left half, to form a small
          hanging loop ....
          Introduce 2, toward you,
          in the small hanging loop .

          Straighten 2
          Release 1.
          Extend, to absorb the big
          hanging loop.

          You have now two loops
          on 2.
          The near strings are
          parallel and the far
          strings are crossing.

          This movement is known
          as "Murray opening".
 

     B. R1 over lower R2n,
          picks up lower R2f.

          L1 over lower L2n and f,
          picks up upper L2f.
 

    C. R5 over upper R2n and f,
         picks up lower R2n.

    D. L5 over upper L2n and
         lower L2f,
         picks up lower L2n
         (transverse string).

      You have a loop  on 1,
          two on 2 and one on 5.
 

     E. 2 enters in the triangles
          near of 5, and, toward
          you , picks up the string
          that it is the continuation
          of the upper string 2n .
          Release 1.

 
 

     F. 1, away from you, enters
          in 5 and pick up the
          oblique string.
 

        Arrange if need.

      A. Opening A.
           Release 1.

      B. 1, over 2, picks up 5n.

     C. R2, from above,
           removes L2  ..

           ...L2, from above, enters
           lower R2 loop and removes
           it, lifting it over the
           upper R2 loop
           Extend.

     D. 3 enters, from above, 2
          and picks up 1f.

     E. Release 1 and 2. Extend.
 
 

          Here is a mountain
          You have a loop on 3,
           and one on 5.

     F. 1, below 3, picks up 5n
          and, returning also 3f.
          Release 3 and 5.
          Extend.

     G. 5, over upper 1f , picks up
          lower 1f  (transverse).
          Extend.
