But you are not alone if the word 'Med' fills you with slight trepidation. Med mooring, Medi-mooring or the reason many weekend sailors avoid the Mediterranean, can be an intimidating factor when considering a Mediterranean yacht charter. Squeezing your boat stern first into a packed marina while having to anchor or catch a slime line at the same time as battling crosswinds as droves of spectators pack the town dock, phones in hand, ready to capture possible YouTube gold, is reason enough to postpone your Mediterranean sailing adventures if you are not that well acquainted with the European standard of docking. Nowhere does there ensue more chaos than with theoretically simple-sounding med mooring. The basics of executing the perfect med mooring are to line up your approach to your assigned slip stern first, then either drop the anchor or grab a slime line or mooring ball, and back up until you are close enough to pass the stern lines to the dockhand or have a crew member jump off and tie on the windward stern line first followed by the second stern line. Technically, you should be docked perfectly. But let's break this process down step by step.  

Boating is all about making the right decisions – knowing when to set sail and stay put, where to drop the hook for a peaceful night's sleep, and deciphering the good from the questionable navigational advice from the local watering hole.
