Backing into slip with crosswind??!!

[Havana Shamrock]

if poss. go past the slip just enuff to put the stern aginst the pole. back aginst the wind / tide and pivot off the pileing as you backin.

this works for me everytime, the old lean and pivot move i call it , i'm not fortunate enough to have a bow thruster .

+1 on doing it quickly
+1 on starting with the bow downwind
+1 on using more power than you think
+1 on using a pivot point or spring line when necessary

Are you "Chumbley" from "Pawn Stars"?? :grin:

Nope. And I had to re-read that first word twice! :lol:
