How do you tie a bowline on the bight?
A Bowline on the Bight is a knot tied in the middle of a line, instead of at the end of a line, that resembles a bowline, but is not a true bowline. This is made by grasping the line so it is doubled, pulling the loop portion down - let it hang, then grasp the doubled linewith your right hand, palm facing away, and twist your hand to palm facing, forming a loop, similar to the first loop formed for a typical bowline; - next, bring the hanging doubled end up through the loop just made, just short distance, which now creates a hanging doubled loop; - open the end loop that was pulled through and pass it up, over, and down around the large loop, pulling it up to the upper hanging portion above the first loop; - pull tight, and you have a Bowline on the Bight
