When approaching a mooring buoy, you should first slow down and assess the conditions, including wind and current. Make sure to approach the buoy from downwind or downcurrent to maintain control. Once close, prepare to secure your vessel using fenders and lines, ensuring that you are ready to tie off once alongside the buoy. Always follow local regulations and navigational rules while mooring.
