Tips on leaving the dock

tabbibus said:
I should have used my boat hook to push now that I think about it. I think I panicked. My bow was a bit out already and when I tried to just drive out I felt my stern bump the dock. So I was worried that would push me back in and against the boat ahead of me.

Live and learn.
