[QUOTE="GilK, post: 503705, member: 34315"] I'm sure you've gotten practice and are better at docking now but I have to ask (and kinda surprised no one else said anything). Why were you at the bow trying to grab the pier when the motor running? You're using a tiller, so you're at the stern and that should be the first line you tie off. Then you tie off the bow. And your kill lanyard should have shut the motor off before you get to the bow (if you don't have one you should for safety reasons). I have had to slowly walk up to the bow holding onto the dock due to wind (yesterday actually) to get the bow line tied off to go get the trailer. [/QUOTE]
