Rob There is a vacant slip beside us. Either the next one or the one over on road side. The C&C 33-2 Colmonel spent some time there Spring 2015 with no issues

Our marinas (slips) face north-south which is where most of the prevailing winds come from.....in the Summer, we get more west winds than easterlies. If I had a crew member with me, this wouldn't be as much of an issue but most days I am alone. I have been coming and going from the slip I am in now alone for almost a month but there are no restrictions (narrow fairway, etc). I don't expect to get one of these slips.

Are there any considerations when backing out into the fairway or marina? I'd look more at the prevailing wind and choose the side that is downwind most of the time. We had a temporary slip in Pensacola with a port side pier. The wind was almost always blowing us away from the pier. Pain in the butt to angle in and have crew leap off and secure the boat before the wind blew us into the neighbor's boat. Personally, my preference is a port side pier because I back in. Prop walk brings boat to the pier. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA On Fri, Oct 21, 2016 at 7:23 AM, robert via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> wrote: I have had a boat on the same mooring for approx. 20 years and have enjoyed the ease (stress free) of coming and going from it, especially since I do mostly single handed sailing. However, I am considering getting a 'slip' at our marina for next season. There are several currently available, and with a 'bow in' docking (my preference) I have the choice to do it from both port or starboard docking. My boat has an 'offset prop shaft' which, I believe, accentuates the prop walk to port when starting in reverse. So my question is "Is there a preference for either a port or starboard docking (bow in) with my prop walk situation?" Reasons why? Or does it make any difference?
