Pulled into Nanny Cay Marina yesterday (3rd visit...and we thought we didn't like marinas!). Had an end tie versus a slip, which means the boat was tied to the end of a T-shaped dock versus pointed into the dock next to a bunch of other boats. That's ususally a great spot reserved for much larger yachts. Anyway, up to this point, Louis has done almost all of the docking (driving the boat into and out of the dock). But this seemed like a good place for me to have a go. At the last minute, I opted out as there was now a yacht behind us, and not a lot of manuevering room. So, instead, I release the lines from the cleats (on the dock) while he prepares to swing the boat out and forward. But too late we realized our mistake - the wind had pushed the boat out away from the dock, and it was not too far away for me to reach. So, Louis has to do this very skillful maneuver backing the boat (our boat does not back very easily in a straight line...tends to kick the stern to port very easily). Anyway, he doesn't quite make it back alongside the dock, but gets close enough for me to grab the stern and hop over the rail, and we're off! He was all embarassed, but I was impressed he made the move, and I was really glad that it wasn't me driving the boat! The same thing would have happened, and then I'd have been in the tight marina needing to back the boat in, or, more likely, spin the boat around and come in bow first, and manage not to hit that other boat docked there. Phew!
