There are the wind shift factors as well, but I don't know, I just don't know. I did this once in exactly that situation down in Marina Cay, BVI. We got in late, there was no mooring, and anchoring outside the immediate mooring area was not viable. I did a bow/stern between two other boats in the same situation. The wind picked up on the beam, and it was fairly unpleasant. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
