Let me try to be helpfull for the next time. The way to approach a dock on a windy day is to head into the wind as much as possible. at the dock , get a line around something on the dock or around the piling and then on a cleat ahead of the center of the boat. Then you simply put it in reverse at a low idle and the boat will back down and be forced into the dock. This is how all the launch drivers do it. I can assure you that they wouldn't be launch drivers for long if they were dumping their passengers in the drink very often! <img src="/Images/Happy_Face.gif"><!--e1-->
