    Moving a Mooring

    This Spring, I inherited a new mooring as a result of purchasing a property on a lake in northern New Hampshire. The water in our mooring field is rather shallow, so it's customary to leave the mooring caps in the water during winter and fish the chain up with a rake or other device in the...
