Of course it's easy. You stand up on the bow with the
boat hook and pick up the mooring while your husband
does all the helmsmanship required to make it easy for
you.

Try picking up a mooring single-handed under sail in a
crowed mooring field and you will then be a real sailor
like me. One of my favorite ways is to sail upwind of
the mooring, heave-to and drift sideways down on the
mooring, pick it up, make it fast and then as the stem
eyes the weather drop the sails. Of course one must
have hank-on sails for this procedure to work right so
that leaves you out, honey.

WHAT?!?!?! I really did miss something while I was gone! Back up to a mooring ball? Mooring's a piece of cake...
