inertia....

I’ve yet to meet a boat or ship that can stop on a dime. Unless the entire waterway is lined with dimes. I remember the good old days of docking the 20 foot boat. It wasn’t bad except when the river current was high, then there was a lot of anticipatory maneuvering to get it to slip into the proper slot.

Anyone who wants to see a busy plane fag, he posts on QV. Naturally I have no clue but he does seem to know his planes and how to tell what they are.

My grandfather had a 38ft Hatteras with twin Cummings diesels. He and my father could make that boat dance.

That is where I first learned ship handling. Parking a ship with only one screw is a lot more difficult than a boat or ship with two.
