Just a reminder that the worst possible way you can tie to a mooring is running a single line from one bow cleat through the pennant and over to the other bow cleat. The dock line will act like a saw over time cutting through the mooring loop. You also have zero redundancy if you chaff through the line. Seeing lots of boats tied on that way this week.
G On our December trip it seemed that the majority of boats were tied this way including some very large cats.
