Answer To Rocking Dock, High Winds & No Sea Legs
Posted: Sun Oct 09, 2011 9:13 pm
I have yet to establish my sea legs. Those docks, pitching up and down on each step is more than I can take. Today when I visited my boat, winds were at over 20 MPH with strong gusts. It is about 100 feet out to my boat. The docks are about the width of a child's tricycle (seems that narrow)
Solution! I grabbed the luggage wheel barrow, and while I pushed that, it gave me the stability I needed to bob across that dock out to my boat!
I spent several hours on the boat, cleaning, straightening, moving stuff about. Till the rains came, then I packed up and drove for home.
Had a good time out in the fresh air. I am going to hate winter. I usually love it, but I am going to miss sailing and my sailboat.
