I'll one up you on this! .................................................. ... 3001!

Imagine that, a Fountain gets the one up on a Formula. Go figure!!!

3001 don't mean chit, come back at 4k beak boy...

Still vacant, lucky for us, you should be a shoe in!

Mystery Current? WTF? You got in there!

Typical Flocker! Just can't take ownership of the one down spot.

3001 in my book is one up on 3000!

Cry me a river, Flocker Boy!

forget the post count 5, and work on bringing the number of backdowns into the slip up a couple thousand without incident... and try solo, now that I wanna see...
then you may have something.

BTW, if your all such excellent boat-handlers why the proliferation of full fendered slips and clothlines?
when you always have a second set of hands aboard as well?

hmmm...wonder where those good ideas came from?

my legacy lives on there...

I'll give you the clothes line, works like a dream.

Fenders in the slip? Why the fock would anyone in their right mind take the, in my case at least, chance of marking a boat for the sake of couple hundred bucks worth of fenders. Let alone the ease of not having to go thru all the f'ning around with hanging them on the boat when coming in. Which reminds me, I need to get those Polyform Elites for the slip fenders! Just in the off chance the Biotch comes into some ever so slight a contact with them when I'm docking.

Back in the day my second set of hands didn't need the help, twist the nose one way then the other, bow done! Back it down and he had the stern handled before I had the engines and blowers off. Things are different now, this one is somewhat challenged. But I've yet to put a mark on a boat in the past 10 seasons, or ever for that matter, with Samantha as the sole mate on board. You should appreciate the deal, as you knew her for many years before I. Even with the "help" I am, for all practical purposes, on my own.

Far as 5P and the Evil Currents, really don't know. Either he has a handle on it, or just to dumb to notice. But I have seen him crank it in there. Then pop a Corona, stuff a lime, and watch Axa Dockin' the Most! The other demon, the inward spinning props.

Rip, not docking alone only means that one has friends...

Just when I thought this thread was getting tired .... Bam POW bang Crash .....

First of all .... one name Sybil ..... wow !!!! That was interesting !!!!

Second the whole fender in the slip deal .... Kinda tough to put marks on your boat if you don't use it .... (Ragged)

...who were generally all tied-up and tied-down being slaves to the grind 5 days a week whilst I enjoyed being on the water...
what part of that sounds familiar to you?

I understand the perceived value of the junior high networking thing, but I, as often as I wanted, went boating practically any time, any day of the week even if nobody else could...and enjoyed it- 20 mins from the water has always been nice!

that my friend is sound and accurate reasoning to be occasionally docking alone...

In terms of boating, my love is for the water first, who's aboard second, and the social aspects beyond the confines of my boat third.
A distant third depending on the venue and the people...

To each his own. Establish your own priorities.
To some the water is just the vehicle, to me it is the purpose.

but go ahead, try again smarty-pants.
