Can you please expand on your bad Mooring ball experiences? Hoping to learn potential problems to look for...

Thanks!

Had a Mooring at Marina Key somehow come apart. Iron rod pulled through the ball after some type of failure and we were adrift. Daytime and we were on the boat. Second time was a BEYC ball in about 20 knots of wind that broke the shackle on the seabed. We were left with the ball and ground tackle hanging off the bow. That one did not turn out well as it was 2AM. BEYC could have cared less when I returned their ball and tackle. I also had a boat drifting down on me in the bight after their ball failed.

Great holding at Anegada. I prefer to anchor rather then use a Mooring. I sleep better on the hook after a couple of bad Mooring ball experiences.
