The path to enlightenment is paved with the stones of analysis, thought,
logic and deduction. He must pave his own way as we all have done. Only
the true sailor is capable of original thought (This excludes most
people with motorboats).

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....

I've never seen a mooring ball with lines already attached. But the
only mooring balls I've seen are public balls.





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

You're not very bright, are you? You tie a line to your bow cleat,
and bring the other end back to the swim platform. The preson on the
swim platform ties that end onto the mooring ball. Then he goes up to
the bow and pulls the boat in.


You tie off to the ball!?

Who are you calling not bright?

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.
