[Tuna Tales]

Suggestions...

1. Practice during the week...and before the season really gets going.
2. Practice with two other people on your boat - in case you get close to another boat, dock etc.
3. I would not advise docking bow first - you have a good chance of someone smashing into your outboard motor.
4. During Full moon and New moon the current rips pretty hard...try and dock at the top or bottom of the tides (less current) until you get used to it.
5. The tide runs the hardest at New moon and 4 days after.
6. With a west wind, New moon and mid-outgoing tide; the current will be real strong.
7. Go slow - in case you hit something it will not be that bad.
8. Always keep the bow INTO the current...do not get caught sideways...
9. Go bow up (into the current) as much as possible...you will have better control and you can "walk" the boat into your slip.
10. PM with any other questions.

Thx
