I understand that the abundance of photos you post of sailing is for our
enjoyment and not to validate your abilities Bob...... BUT........ Mr.
Murphy will insist that each time you dock under sail flawlessly there will
be none to witness the event... but should you screw up a dozen will be on
hand to share the joy. I just happened to be quite proud of the fact that I
not only docked a charter boat on which I had no previous experience in
close maneuvering... but I actually had the good fortune to do it while a
large group of people watched.

I merely commented because I know your past opinion on docking under sail
as being considered a dangerous and risky affair and not to be undertaken by
anyone. I'm glad experience has taught you different. Like MOB drills...
docking under sail drills are required to compliment a well rounded set of
sailing skills.
