Uncle Mort has been there once. I had no idea about any requirement to 
moor "stern on" and went straight in with the pointy end.

I do the same every time (dozens) in Gloucester Docks and it never 
occurred to me to do the difficult thing. However Mr Tether did decide 
to do it the hard way a couple of years back - and made a very good job 
of it. I hope many people saw the manoevre and thought it was me !
