“One of these days Peter’s going to make me dock this boat myself.” When Mark relinquished the helm and asked if I would dock the boat – I was happy to and have been doing so ever since. Although, the first time I was a little nervous. I would much rather drive than mess with the lines. Same thing when we drop anchor. Driving is easier than the men lead us women to think. Go for it! You won’t regret it.
I went out to an area in the marina and I practiced backing to a marker. It wasn’t long before my confidence was up enough to try for the slip. And besides, what could go wrong – we have insurance.
