Thanks to all for the insights from experience on picking up a mooring. If
I understand correctly, many moorings have a pendant which can be picked up
and cleated off onboard. Some only have a ring which must be captured by
either a large snap-hook arrangement or by running a heavy line through the
ring and again cleating off from the boat. We have a 41 Carver aft cabin
cruiser which has a pretty high freeboard. I'm not sure the mate could
reach a buoy from the midships entryway. Would perhaps need to run the
mooring line all way back to dive platform which is at water level. Would
seem there might be a market for some kind of heavy snap-hook arrangement at
end of a boat hook. One could reach down with the boathook and set the
metal snaphook right on the mooring buoy. Anyone know of such a product?
Thanks again for all the great advice.
