Yes, never take strange moorings for granted, though I'm surprised that one of those state buoys would do that. We moored there at Jones a few times back when we'd charter up there.

I once had the mooring painter loop break off in my hand at Vero Beach when we were trying to tie up. I exchanged it at the office for a free night when I checked in.

Not applicable to the situation above, but from then on I always use my own tackle to attach to the mooring.
