Have you ever wondered why dolphins swim alongside boats? Here’s a few reasons: # 1: Curiosity and playful nature: Dolphins are renowned for their playful nature, and it appears that a significant portion of their behaviors is driven by sheer enjoyment. From darting through the water at remarkable speeds to engaging in acrobatic flips and jumps, these intelligent marine mammals often display behaviors that seem to be driven by the simple pleasure of the experience and interacting with us! #2: Speed and Efficiency: Dolphins often swim alongside large ships because the waves generated by these vessels enable them to swim faster. This occurs because the bow (front) of the ship pushes the water aside as the boat moves forward, creating a wave, or wake, in the water that dolphins can utilize to increase their swimming speed with minimal additional effort. #3 Food: Dolphins often see a boat full of people as an excellent opportunity for food. A fishing vessel with packed nets is also an excellent food source for a hungry dolphin. For hundreds of years, these mammals have been swimming beside ships, and it seems that they must have learned from experience that where there are humans, there is also a good chance of food. Also, smaller fish can get swept up by the boat waves which is the perfect little snack for dolphins!

How to tie a 🥨 Heaving Line Knot. ... This is an easy, but very useful knot for those times when you need to heave a line ashore or over to another boat. It's fun to tie and flies well. Tie it while you are chugging towards the marina and have it ready in good time. ... Use this knot to add a bit of weight to the end of your rope so it's easier to throw. Try not to hit the person on the dock who's trying to catch it! ... There are lots of variations of this such as the Monkey's Fist, but this one is my favourite for when you are short of time. It's easy to untie too, once the line is safely heaved over. ... The trick is to give yourself enough rope to work with, so make your loops a fair way down from the working end, just practice it. .....
