I was there that day also. I looked at taking one of the moorings on the Kodiak Queen well offshore and designed for large boats. I passed when I saw the swell. The Mooring he took was a private mooring designed for center console outboards put in by the owners of homes on shore there. Never take a private mooring without permission from the owner and verifying it’s appropriate for your size boat. I am not sure that 54 foot power cat does not exceed the tonnage limit for overnight public moorings let alone that mooring.
