Katy,

The mooring balls at Ayala Cove don't have lines attached. I've never
yet seen anyone go to the mooring ball first. Everyone goes to the bow,
even on boats with a lot of freeboard. Actually, I take that back. I've
seen plenty of powerboats do it. Says a lot about Horass doesn't it.

Horvatrh,
I think most people assume that if you're mooring on a mooring ball, the
mooring belongs to you and it has established lines already attached....if
you have to attach lines, I see why you back up to it but that is
certainly
not the usual method of catching a can....
