Description:

Many boat owners and operators have private docks or single slips for mooring their craft. Others are not so fortunate and must learn to tie up boats in a wide variety of situations. In 32 years as a fisherman, the author has encountered many odd and difficult mooring situations caused by boats, high winds and tides. This publication attempts to share some of that experience. In addition to a brief discussion of mooring lines, a number of complex situations encountered both in approaching and leaving the dock are clearly described; simple graphics are included.
