A blood knot would work, but I'd use a Fisherman's Knot, which is basically an overhand knot tied around the standing part of each end. It uses less line than a blood knot and takes up less space.
Once the two knots are jammed up against each other, this knot is very unlikely to come loose. The higher the load, the better it generally holds.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
