"Many marinas provide a straight dock without finger piers or pilings to tie the boat to. There are just cleats or bollards along the dock. Boats drop their main anchor away from the dock and back in, throwing stern lines ashore to secure the boat to the dock or quay. The anchor will hold the boat away from the quay. Besides being cheaper to build marinas, the dock can accommodate any size or width of boats this way. This system is quite common in the Eastern Med especially in the Greek Islands where we filmed the procedure coming in to the town quay on the island of Patmos."

Bayou Joe's in Panama City Fl used to be an awesome place to get lunch or an appetizer (22 years ago, I loved it). It used to be called Dock at JR's, Eat at Joe's. In the last 10 years, it has really turned south. We quit buying lunch about 8 years ago and even quit appetizers a few years ago. We would still go there in the AM (by dinghy) for trash omelets.
Today, we had family with us and nice weather, so off to lunch we go. As we took to the high seas, I realized Uncle Earnie's is closed on Monday's, so we decided to try Bayou Joe's again. We all had great lunches from fish tacos, grouper sandwiches, grouper bites, grouper basket... I was shocked. The prices had gone really high for a while, but they were in line with other places around here, and all sitting right on the bayou.

Your seafood lunch sounds good and makes me hungry.
Med mooring isn't my choice of ways to moor, but some times we're not given the choice. Here's Beachcomber at an Aqualapooza party in Portland, OR at the Columbia River Yacht Club.

Our club does that quite a lot when visiting yacht clubs that have limited dock space. We can cram a lot of boats in a small area docking this way. It's amazing how you make make small dock space work if you have enough shoe horns and Vaseline!

We either tie a fender to the swim platform or one of our members fans a fender holder that slides into the weaver davit bracket. They work great!

I need to pull pictures of an event where we had boats stuffed in at all angles at a marina with a huge cross current.

The restaurant built out over the water on pilings. There really isn't any place to even get off your boat, except tie up to a piling and climb thru the wall, which is a drop curtain. We would frequently take a couple of 40-50 ft Sea Rays over on Sunday morning for breakfast.....yes, you needed Tums, but damn it was good. It sort of stopped the eating when everyone watched the boats maneuver up to the restaurant. We haven't been there for a while because the bayou began to shoal up by the restaurant.......but we'll go back next trip down. If John can get there, I can too.
Oh, back a few years ago, the Sunday special was "Garbage Potatoes".........it consisted of something akin to hash browns with whatever else the cook decided to feed you like onions, peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, sausage, ham, etc. One order was a meal and if 3 of you ordered the potatoes, all 3 orders were different.

That photo above from the Aquapalooza was the day I picked up the boat from the yard that put it back together after I bought it. I'd only driven the boat about 5 miles, never docked it, never side tied it and they were wanting me to med-tie!!!
That scared the crap out of me but we did it without bumping the boat next to us or the dock behind us. The guy next to us knew we had just picked up the boat. To say he was a bit nervous would be an understatement. I'm not sure which of us was the more nervous.

Hampton - Nice photo. By mistake I clicked the photo and your photobucket came up. I really liked the pic of the pretty lady in front of the TV in the Helm. Now that is doing it right. Very cool.
