Heaving line bend
Okay kiddo, let me explain what a heaving line bend is. Do you know what a heaving line is? It's like a really long rope that sailors use on big ships to throw to other boats or docks when they need to tie up their ship.
Now, sometimes the heaving line isn't long enough by itself, so sailors need to attach another rope to it. That's where the heaving line bend comes in. It's a special knot that lets sailors tie two ropes together really securely.
The heaving line bend works by wrapping each rope around the other one and then tucking the end of each rope back under itself. It's important to do it just right so that both ropes are held tightly together and won't come undone.
So that's what a heaving line bend is – a knot that helps sailors tie two ropes together so they can keep their ship anchored safely. Did that make sense, kiddo?
