Well, I hate to be the lone dissenter here, but my concern would be handling the mooring pennant alone. It sure is helpful to have one person pick it up and a second to attach lines to it. During our first BVI visit, we helped a couple on a thirty some foot mono. The fellow's wife got a nasty rope burn while trying to moor at Marina Cay. Mooring in calm weather is one thing, but doing it single handed in high winds is another altogether.
