Hey Y'all,
I was moored at Manchioneel Bay Friday night, on BoatyBall #12 (closest to the beach / dinghy dock). The boat wouldn't stay away from the ball. Must be opposing or at least variable wind and current in there. Noticed other boats having similar behavior - not swinging uniformly, mooring lines slack. At one point my starboard hull had sailed over the mooring line, putting the ball outboard the hull and catching the line behind the keel. So we had to untie and re-tie, with the shortest possible bridle. But the boat still wouldn't stay away from the ball, and there was some bumping in the night. A stern anchor could have fixed it, but nobody else had set one and I didn't want to not swing when everyone else was swinging randomly. Has anybody else experienced this? Is Manchioneel Bay known for its boat dance?
Thanks, Randy
