Twin Engine Boat Docking (EP 27)

Karlynn has hired a 100 Ton Captain to learn twin engine boat docking and close quarter maneuvering.

Karlynn shares her fresh insights and compares/contrasts learning close quarter piloting to learning how to first drive a car. Some of the tips, tricks and techniques are new to both of us and, all of them are valuable. Captain Linda Lewis also shared some examples that use your body motion to employ basic boat handling skills without having to remember them on the fly.

Lessons, leveraging natural body motions to dock the boat and practice, practice, practice will help anyone pilot a boat in tight quarters better than 50% of the boaters on the water.
