If you're coming in single-handed and there is a group of kibitzers
hanging around doing "color commentary," ask them to lend a hand. Put
the lazy *******s to some good use.

There's a good chance that they'll not be of much help. Don't rely on anyone
you don't know.

When I screw up a docking, I usually tell them that I am just practicing and
pull back out again.

If there's a big crowd on the dock, I'll strip naked and keep coming.
That always sends the crowd scrambling for cover (except if Gaynzy's
there).

Notice how Scotty thinks about Gaynzy when he gets naked. . .
What does that tell you?

Would those of you who single handedly sail your boat give a new
sailor some tips on bringing the boat into the slip without attracting
a crowd of gawkers?

I just ignore them, which is another skill that takes practice.

The dock angels I don't mind

Maybe they really are angels. Read Ray Bradbury's "The Crowd" Bradbury might
endorse a theory that these gawkers are all spirits of lubbers who were
killed in dock related accidents.

vocal contributions only add to the already high tension level.

would you like to borrow my gaussmeter?

We see the same people all the time, every fire scene. They all look like
suspects. They look catatonic . . . You could arrest a lot of these people
just on looks alone. [3]


Sounds like the boatyard crew when we fire up the chiminea!
