My Heart was a Poundin!

The next step in my search for my Island, will require me getting my Captains license. Today YB had me Pilot the vessel as usual, but when it was time to pull up to the fuel dock he did NOT take over. OMGOSH. There was a pylon 20ft behind me, 3 feet of water somewhere to my port side, boats cruising by in the channel and the fuel gal patiently waiting on me to figure out how to maneuver GIGI sideways to the dock.

I’m not familiar with thrusters or two engines for that matter. But luckily I know how a boat feels in the water and can react to its response to my maneuvers. After a few forwards and backwards and wrong directions I had her docked! YB and GF did the lines for me while I was captain. So cool!
