Heaving line knot

A heaving line knot is a special knot that is used to attach a weight to a rope, so that you can throw the rope farther away. It is called a "heaving" knot because you "heave" or throw the line to someone or something far away.

So imagine you have a big ball of rope in your hands and you want to throw it across a river. But the rope is heavy and you can't throw it very far. That's where the heaving line knot comes in!

First, you take the end of the rope and fold it over a few times, so that you have a loop. This loop will help the knot stay on the rope when you throw it.

Next, you take the weight (something heavy like a small beanbag or rock) and tie it to the loop with another knot. This weight will help you throw the rope farther.

Then, you tie the heaving line knot by taking the end of the rope and looping it around the weight a few times. Then you stick the end of the rope through the loop in the beginning of the knot. This will create a little loop around the weight.

Finally, you can hold onto the loop you created in the knot and throw the rope as far as you can! The weight will help the rope go farther than it would without the knot.

So the heaving line knot is really just a special knot that helps you throw a rope with a weight on the end farther than you would be able to throw it without the knot. It's a cool trick that sailors and fishermen use all the time!
