Hi Folks,

My wife and I recently completed a charter with the Moorings at St. Martin. Of course, with just the two of us, it fell to my wife to be up on the bow to pick up the mooring. She did fine but while anchored, we saw a cat come in and turn in front of the mooring and then back up to it. The captain then just stepped down to the swim platform and hooked up with what looked like very little effort.

I'm not sure if he then walked the line forward or if it was just a long line already attached to the bow.

Anyway, that looked like a pretty good idea and I just wondered if anyone else did it that way and what are the pros and cons.

Thanks,

Tom
