Mostly I'd like some input/help with proper way to launch/retrieve, especially if I'm by myself. And how to dock without being labelled "captain bonehead". Or hitting anyone elses craft and/or damaging my own boat on the dock.
So....how about it people? Anyone with advice that I can use, or even better, willing to help with "hands on" training?
TIA

If you are talking about using the town docks in Meredith, I would recommend that you pick another launch for your 22 foot boat. That launch is very tight. I believe that there is a sign there about not launching any boats over 18 feet in length or something like that. Center Harbor and Shep Browns have better launches.
