The secret is to approach at an angle and get the bow line down first. Once the bow is secured, you can move the stern anywhere you want with props and rudders. I confess. I cheated. I used the thrusters in that video. :-) There was no one on the dock to receive a line and my crew member friend who went out on the bow didn't have the boat hook to place a line on a dock cleat. He was going to try to lasso it but I yelled down to him that it wasn't necessary. Why are you up at 3:52 am? |
