Piel moorings

Unread post by dr.syn »

Beware, just had my cable knawed through by the ring on no. 2. It was blowing a good 5 in the night and pitching and rolling all over the place. I was saved by the pickup can getting caught in the cleat, otherwise I'd have woken up under the bridge at Barrow

When I was on No.2 it was submerged at highwater on a 9.0m tide, I had to slacken the lines a bit.

My pennyworth, they need a 2m mooring strop on the end, it must be very difficult for high decked boats to get them if there's a good breeze and tide. Also the very outer one could do with moving inshore and numbers 1 and 2 moving up Towards the pub, they are a long way for tender to get to.
