You apprehended the situation perfectly Destroyer - you articulated my thoughts exactly. I’m wondering if the guy wasn’t drunk? He may have had some quality time to do with that cop when the boat was secured.
If he was as loaded as it looked, he may NOT be allowed to operate a boat for a while - I hope not.

Yeah - I never had anything like that guy, but there was some awkwardness climbing the learning curve.

I'm not going to say that the captain was stupid but I'm sure and hope he learned something from that. We have all been there. It's a learning curve. We get better everytime that we go out. At least every one was good. All he had to do was pull into the dock area and let the wind push him to the dock. Maybe next time.

Yes we all were beginners once and we've all had our moments. Biggest thing I always try to do especially at a new dock is to stop away from the dock and determine what the wind and current are doing to me. It always surprises me to see someone, when they have their choice of which dock to pull in to, trying to dock against the wind instead of letting the wind help them.
