Stern-to and Bow-to Mooring Leaving a Stern-to Mooring
Departing from a stern-to mooring is the reverse of arriving. Once ready to leave, slip the stern lines and slowly retrieve the anchor while motoring slowly forwards. Watch out for fenders getting caught up on boats next to you as you depart.
If using a lazy line, this can be removed before slipping the stern lines. Leave the berth by gently motoring forward until you are clear of surrounding boats.
