You know, I backed in for 15 years. Then I got this spot with a floating finger dock. Never had that before.
I figured since I don't have to board from the stern, it would be easier to go bow in. What a pain in the butt! Damn near impossible in that cross current when I'm by myself. With the new Eisenglass enclosure I can't reach a line until I'm all the way in. No one to hold the bow from swinging. I couldn't even get OUT of the slip without coming dangerously close to my neighbor's anchor pulpit. I looked like an amateur! Backing in is WAY easier! Now I can back up to the pole and grab a line and get under control the way I have done since owning the boat.

That cross current can be tricky. Especially in the haul out pit. I've witnessed countless large expensive sportfishing boats piloted by experienced captains smash up rub rails,tow rails,bow rails etc while coming in for a haul. It takes lots of practice. I brought my boat up there last week. I'm on c dock by the Bear. Hopefully I can get out on Saturday morning for some of those sea bass or stripers. Whatever I can stumble across.
