We were down at Cap Sante Marina in Anacortes Washington yesterday, getting ready to go out on a whale watch boat.  An old man back a 45 ft cabin cruiser about 200 ft, straight as an arrow up near the fuel dock, then sideways to land without touching another boat ahead of his.  Damn good job.  And the guy in the first video above is plenty good, too.

A bow thruster makes it much easier, skill is not having a bow thruster, and wind and current effecting you.

Obviously the skipper does not have much - nor the inept deckhand on the foredeck.

What's the problem? Looks like a standard mooring operation for a fishing boat.  %)
