Well, I cant see the point for you... with that barge and that humongous Oyster behind you.... and being at the bottom of a fishbowl 12 hours out of 24... you are in a pretty sheltered spot!
The Shotley lot seem to take their lines a bit casually... the neighbour uses some scrappy bits of sheet.... and very short straight to the pontoon....
I've got two solid lines from the bow... a good solid oversized spring... and two off the stern quarter... so cross fingers... That worked ok in plymouth for 4 years....
Its the "Royal Barge" I would worry about.... sideways on to the pontoon....

Yep, ditto ditto. (Tritto?)

Sailorman will be pleased to know that everything looked OK when I left at 07:45 this morning.
It was pretty blowy overnight and it is predicted that it will continue to gust around 30kts all week until it increases again Thu/Fri.
Oh the joys of living on board.......

Ask Clive after Saturday, he's invading us 
Anyway, the liver salts seem to be working, wind has dropped since last night. Plenty of wind supplied firewood outside now though.
Time you got your furry backside over here too yah know, Mrs Sailorman deserves a treat now and then
Suppose she gets that anyway when you leave her at home though
