2. Put a kellet weight five or six feet down the line from the buoy. Not
enough weight to sink the buoy, just enough to keep the line hanging vetically


========================================

That works, Another solution is to use 6 ft of chain attached to the
buoy, then line below that.

It's much more exciting to practice docking next to real boats
however.

Helps to keep you focused when you see that bow pulpit with the big
anchor coming at you.
