Your captain sounds like one in a million!! I...Wow! Your captain sounds like one in a million!! I used to watch barges heading down the Mississippi when I was in college out in Iowa. It looked deceptively easy. Your description of what can go wrong was enlightening.<br /><br />My Dad used to back his 32 ft. sailboat into their slip. I always dreaded it because he so easily lost his cool. But, then again, his engine conked out once and he actually sailed the boat into the slip. That was impressive and other boaters actually applauded him.<br /><br />I hope you can stay with your current captain for a long time. Sounds like your life on the water is better than ever!dcpeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06717760056852737076noreply@blogger.com
