I've only 'rented' a mooring once, in Annapolis, there was a huge harness
attached to the ball. made it easy, just pick up the harness and attach to
bow. When I 'borrowed' someones in late fall I picked the ball up to the
deck and looped a spare dock line through.

I don't know about the balls where you live, but here, there's a ring
attached to the top of the ball, where you tie off.

Don't you get all twisted? We have a mooring harness with a swivel
shackle
mounted on the can...and we carry an extra mooring harness with us when we
cruise....idea is to get in the dinghy when you're there and attach the
harness, then pass the lines up to the bow....
