When approaching a mooring buoy, slow down and assess the situation to ensure it's safe to approach. Identify the buoy's characteristics and any nearby vessels or obstacles. Use fenders to protect your boat and be prepared to maneuver as you get closer, making sure to approach from the downwind or current side to maintain control. Once in position, secure the boat to the buoy using a suitable line, ensuring it is tightly fastened before leaving the helm.
