New Boater trying to learn
I am new to the forum and a new boater on the lake. I have been trying to get the hang of docking and am getting better, although slowly. I try to boat during the week and practice docking on empty docks whenever I can, and I am not ashamed to back off and try again if the situation calls for it. I have found that most seasoned boaters are more than happy to offer guidance and help, which I accept with gratitude. Last week I was docking at Wolfboro and it was a bit crowded. This boater (docked) saw that I was having a bit of trouble and immediately offered to help from the dock. He took my bow line and tied it off for me. (My wife was with me but she is as new to boating as I am.)
It helps when other boaters try to help rather than criticize new boaters trying to dock.
I enjoy this forum and am getting a lot of great information from it.
