Dance of Dockage

If you think moving a full-keeled sailboat from one slip to another shouldn't qualify as a boating trip, you should try it!  Make sure there's a breeze blowing, too.  Since we don't have our regular slip this season, we're having to move around as slips come available.  As we motored clear of our slip and toward the bank on the other side of the narrow channel, we used a long spring line to bring Grace's bow around to starboard.  Then, we motored past the new slip and used a spring line to warp in stern-first.  Whew!
