You should be able to back in fairly straight since you can use the engine
to hold the bow in alignment, but not use it so much that it overcomes the
wind. A stern fender would be appropriate. Crew on both sides, no jumping.
Fend off with fenders not limbs.

You want to back into your slip. The wind is aligned
with the slip, so that your bow will be into the wind as
you back in.

What is the best way to get your boat into its slip?

Discuss your thoughts on planning this. [1 pt]
