Mooring vs. Slips
Hi all,
We have started looking for a place up on the lake after all these years. Mostly looking at associations/condos of some kind, going to open houses, etc... We went to one this weekend, and rather than a deeded slip (which is what I've been hoping for), this place had moorings and day docks. Not all the moorings were filled either, so it seems pretty likely that a day dock would be open a lot.
I've no experience using moorings, so I'm interested in some insight from those that do. Part of the reason to do this is to spend more/easier time on the boat, so it kinda seems like a mooring makes that a lot more challenging (less "hey, let's head out for a run", sort of thing).
I've never even used a mooring before, so any insight or helpful commentary would be appreciated. Should I hold out for a deeded dock, or if everything else checks out, is a mooring not as big an issue as it seems?
Thanks in advance!
