As boat comes to a standstill with starboard side of bow v close to the ball, toss the belly of the line out and around the ball, then pull it in tight and cleat it off around the starboad bow cleat. I have not heard this idea before, and I like it. Our hit rate at grabbing moorings has been pretty high, but this sounds like a good addition to the old bag of tricks. Thanks for sharing!
