Need lessons on how to dock our boat

Thank you Elizabeth for this thread. When I was growing up, my father relayed every Power Squadron meeting to me. Almost every Lake Winnipesaukee cruiser had a PS flag on the transom. On the docks with boating friends, they discussed those lessons, even down to how to coil a rope. And knowing that when you attach it to a cleat, it is no longer a rope. It becomes a line. Or a painter. You don't hear that word much anymore. Anyway, with those decades of history, if not experience, I've learned some things from this discussion. BZ Elizabeth.
