Getting out of a berth

[Wansworth]

"Wind it round criss-cross please" once worked for me. I knew immediately what I was being asked to do

Sounds like my good wife?

Yesterday it was quite windy a northerly blowing through the marina in Pontevedra.The owner was telling me how he would get out of the berth and head for the sea.Apparentlyas the boat has dodgers and a sprayhood trying to moter with the outboard up into the wind you would fetch up in the adjacent line of moored yachts.The only way out was apparently motor backwards down wind till you reached the end of the pontoons all seemed rather frought.

Isn't this just another item on your list of reasons not to buy a boat? Surely you have enough by now!
