Didn't it occur to him to just turn his head? Much simpler method.

Ah.... well, I don't sail backwards on a mooring. I saw a guy try that
once in Cane Garden Bay, BVI. Actually, he was trying to position
his boat to watch the sunset. He attached the mooring line to a stern
cleat, then proceeded to get it caught between the rudder and the
keel. We helped him get it uncaught, then he honored us with Don
Perion and letting us look at his very hot, bikinied girlfriend.

Mooring? I keep my boat in a slip in Sausalito. I teach there
as well as on a lake.
