Mooring basics
I'm using a marina mooring this season for the first time. Would anyone be able to give me some tips with approach, pickup, dingy use, etc?
The dingy is marina supplied so I'd be approaching both the ball and dingy coming back in. I'll also be doing this single-handedly as I'll be dropping off passengers at a nearby dock first. I have a pickup pole that I expect to use and the boat is a 21 ft I/O bowrider.
I think the mooring is about 20 - 30 ft off shore. Not sure of the depth but it's probably less than 10 ft.
I expect to get some instruction from the marina but interested in what some experienced users have to say.
TIA
Bob
