Yacht braid eye splice

[Patrick_Seattle]

I'm soooo close.. but I'm having a heck of a time getting this splice to bury.

I've got the overhand knot on the companion way ladder, I'm pulling on it to the point I had to put gloves in before my hands started to blister. Any ideas? does it look right to you thus far, should I just keep trying to work it or is it good enough?

OK... gotta sleep maybe fresh arms will do the trick. ;-)
