I'm certainly not an expert on this. My experience has been that rather than trying to pick up the mooring from the bow, it is easier to pick it up from further back, closer to the shrouds.

I'm going to single hand the boat down to mid-florida and probably have to pick up a mooring without benefit of a first mate. I've done it before alone but that was with a much smaller boat a lot closer to the water and I was considerably quicker in my youth. Any suggestions as to how to pickup a mooring from 4' above the water single handed? I'm thinking about bringing the mooring along side with a long line from the bow, but it's tricky getting a knot in the line or a line through the loop and then getting back to the bow. How does anyone do that? Thanks, Jim. _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://liveaboardonline.com/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardonline.com/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
