Mooring up.

When mooring up for the night, if the boat is stern to the wind many modern yachts are very noisy in the aft cabin.

Waves slap under the hull and can make sleeping very difficult.

If you are in an area where even quite small waves are likely to be passing through it is always worth taking the trouble to moor up bows in to the expected wind direction, even if this means driving on to the mooring in reverse.
