Default Docking Situation Question #4
wrote:

You are motoring into a guest slip at a strange dock,
in a 34' Catalina with diesel auxiliary. You realize
someone has taken your guest berth and there are no
others available. The fairway is 40' wide.

What is the procedure for turning around without
outside assistance. [Assume Right Hand Prop]

2 pts for complete answers



What's the bottom like? If the bottom is mud or sand, it's
always an option to run aground. Stops the boat nicely.

The windward side of the channel is prefereable for this.
