Either way I choose to attach the mooring to this line that is already established at the bow. This way, if my bow swings away due to the
wind or
current, the line at the bow will bring me right back at rest into the wind/current. I've seen hopeless cases of people standing amidship holding a line to a mooring with their beam against the force of the
current. They are usually quickly overwhelmed and give up the line.
