Yes Adam, but can he cook as good as you?  Ken

Now, one of my sailing buddies, Mike, can manouever my boat under power like it is a Porsche moving it inches here, a degree there, etc. He is half my age (and I was sailing long before he was born) but he can do it.

As for me, I assume my first approach to the dock is my only approach.

Backing at all (let alone straight) is something I simply can't get my 
boat to do, so I don't rely on it as part of the docking process.
I've told my wife that when docking, if we miss we'll simply circle 
and try again, since we have little/no effective reverse/braking power.
