Floating system connected to an underwater line structure and methods of use

A method of modifying a floating system, the system comprising a host floating in a body of water having a water bottom, an elongated underwater structure with a first end, a second end, and a body positioned between the first end and the second end, with the first end connected to the host, the body extending through the water, and the second end adjacent the water bottom, the method comprising:

• lifting a transition segment of the body at a lift point, sufficient to form the transition segment of the body at a first water depth into a concave downward shape and a portion of the body at a second water depth into a concave upward shape, with the second water depth deeper than the first water depth.
