Bow thrusters and mooring buoys

[Chiara’s slave]

I NEVER make a mess of steering into a mooring - the wife always does it!

She's pretty good. I, however, have the gibbon arms necessary to actually reach the thing.

We are usually that way round too. Mrs C is a slight lady, it’s better I do the pickup.

Likewise.
Its a bit sad though when other ladies, out of their husbands hearing, come and say how much they admire my wife being able to handle the boat and wish their husbands would let them steer sometimes. Having just heard one ass boasting how he was an RYA instructor and had failed some of his students as the subject he was teaching could be a matter of life and death I felt very sorry for the lady. At the time I was lecturing on MN deck officer courses and we used Competent/Not Yet Competent when assessing students.
