LOL, that is a crappy senario. Thank god for bumpers, that's all I can say.
I had a similar docking situation in Guam, but they were only 19 foot boats. I actually turned the bow towards the right side corner of the hole. When I got close, I slow it down to an idle and litterly "slide" into the hole my putting the motor into reverse and turning the wheel all the way to the left. It's a nifty way to parallel park a boat. It takes a little practice, but it's not hard.
Now, if you've got a 40' boat, there's no parallel parking one of those. LOL, i'm pretty sure that picture isn't to scale. You have to have atleast a few feet to manuever.
Hey Tomc, You went nuts again! LOL, way to stay on the great info[cool]
