Moorings

As mentioned, I took a mooring the other day. I wasn't sure how this would work out. A mooring is usually a sunken piece of cement with a line/chain and buoy attached. It's more stable than an anchor. It's hard to drag a mooring. But I wasn't sure how I would motor up to the mooring and snag it singlehanded. Turned out not to be a big deal. I just motored along side, grabbed it from the cockpit with a boat hook, and tied off on a stern cleat. After we were settled, I transferred it to the bow.

In other news, Muffy's flying down for Spring Break. We'll be cruising around the Cocoa Beach area. No Hilton Head marina for Stuffy Muffy this time. She's demanding a new nickname for this trip, seeing as how she will be roughing it on the boat. Any suggestions? Also, I think there is another shuttle launch scheduled for early March. If true, I should make this one.
