Mooring Questions

I certainly don't know the calculations, but I have heard of boats moving the mooring due to a lot of wave action lifting the boat/mooring block. Probably too short on the scope, and forgot that 1000 lbs on shore isn't the same when in the water. Of course, it won't drag into shallow water, but an extra line from the mooring block to the shore would prevent drift. If you have a predicted, extended NW storm and want to tie up on the south side, feel free. Plenty of room right behind the "Viking".
