There was a guy up at The Folly on the Isle of Wight who could do that. He was something to do with the harbour staff.
He could also tie a bowline single handed … behind his back?

In our local port one of the shop dogs would tie up a boat. A golden retriever as I recall

Did that dog bark with a typically Spanish lisp?

I first learnt to tie bowlines as a rock climber and within the climbing club you weren't considered proficient at them until you could tie them that way 'first time, every time' AND with either hand. I've just had a go now; I can still do it right handed OK but it took me four tries to get a decent one left handed

But he’s French...in fact, locally he was quite famous, and during the local boat show he was on duty tying up boats ...he would take a rope with a bowline loop and place it over a cleat

Wrong wrong wrong. Round once, figure eight over the top and round again. He needs to learn to do it properly. Heh.

This is how i have always done it, of course you don't need the rope behind your back, just do it in front, it works for tying genoa sheets,
