Wind towards the bow. Otherwise the wind can push you into the buoy.
When approaching a mooring buoy, first assess the wind and current conditions to determine the best approach angle. Slow down and ensure your vessel is under control, while keeping a safe distance from the buoy. Prepare your fenders and lines, and have crew members ready to assist with securing the vessel to the buoy. Finally, approach the buoy at a slow speed, allowing for adjustments as needed for a smooth mooring.
When approaching a mooring buoy, you should approach slowly to avoid running over the mooring line or buoy. It's also advisable to approach from the direction opposite to any moored boats to ensure safety and clear maneuvering space. Attaching extra line is a good practice for securing your vessel once you are properly positioned.
