Tried to dock bow in starboard side and the wind kept blowing the bow off. Oh, I'll back in I thought since the prop walk will pull me to port against the dock... The prop walk, wind, ferry wash and current made me do a full 360 before the rudder would bite in reverse. Amazingly I didn't hit anything. I've been afraid to single hand ever since. I'm looking into using a spring line and keeping the engine in gear to keep the bow from blowing off. Need to practice that technique. Any comments on spring line docking techniques? _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
