BSBs...finally something to eat!!!

[SkunkBoat]

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.
