Docking?

By now (April) you would think that we would have learned to dock this boat, but apparently not. In fact, we were quite good at it, but the last two efforts have left something to be desired. To describe these mishaps would require a lot of verbage. Suffice it to say that on each ocassion, something that typically goes smoothly, like Mary wrapping the stern line around the dock cleat, just didn't happen. But lest she not get the credit she deserves, she did stear the boat home safely while Greg and I fought with the windlass. Greg had contrived to wedge the anchor chain under the windlass while raising the anchor and it took all manner of effort to release it.
