Sunil - Thank you for the explanation, now I do understand.
The ropes are not jump ropes. They are safety ropes.
I have a hypothermia phobia.
When I swim out to work on the circulator in 20 below zero weather, I need to have a backup method of returning to shore. The second rope is a backup in case the first rope breaks. It is all pretty simple, really!
:rolleyes:
