System and Method for Connecting Marine Bodies

A coupling holding two adjacent floating marine bodies together to prevent their horizontal separation said coupling comprising:

• a dog bone shaped connector to extend between said bodies;
• and
• a vertically extending recess provided by each said body each said recess being of a shape to receive an end of said connector and including at least one surface to capture and restrict the movement of said end of said connector towards the floating body with which the other end of said connector is engaged,
• wherein said surface(s) at upper regions of said recess are proximate more the other body than lower regions of said recess wherein a movement of said bodies together will result in a dropping downwardly of said connector within each recess to progressively restrict the hold said floating bodies in more restrained juxtaposition.

A coupling holding two adjacent floating marine bodies together to prevent their horizontal separation said coupling comprising:

• an elongated connector to extend between said bodies, said elongated connector having two apertures one at each distal end;
• and
• a vertically extending recess provided by each said body each said recess being of a shape to receive an end of said connector and including a post shaped to receive said aperture, said post having at least one surface to capture and restrict the movement of said end of said connector towards the floating body with which the other end of said connector is engaged,
• wherein said surface(s) at upper regions of said recess are proximate more the other body than lower regions of said recess wherein a movement of said bodies together will result in a dropping downwardly of said connector on said post within each recess to progressively restrict and hold said floating bodies in more restrained juxtaposition.
