Default Mooring or Dock

I've had moorings and I've had a slip. Again, it's entirely based on
the area to find a preferred method. Slips on City Island are simply
safer than moorings and a boat in a quiet slip takes less abuse and is
easier to maintain in a slip. The mooring offers no advantage at all
and just costs you more time. If we want extra privacy, we have
transient moorings just north of the slips. We also have a lot of
friends who come sailing. The slip is easier for that as well. A boat
in a slip also has it's batteries properly charged, and easier way to
prep the boat, make repairs and so on. After every sail we hose boat
and gear down with fresh water. Sure, you can bring your moored boat in
do all that, but it's an extra step. The best maintained boat we see
here are in slips. Again, this is widely dependent on the area and
exposure to a marine or mooring field.
Mooron's sweeping comments about moorings somehow being better proves
that he knows little about that.
