I was putting the canvas back up after a beautiful day on the river when a 40 footer came in with about 4 guys on it. I watched em pull up to a slip and start backing it in.
I could hear the captain "wahoo'ing" the great job he was doing, he slid it in like a champ, never touched the poles on either side while his passengers just stared.
Were they in awe? Maybe, the Captain was yelling that he never docked so well before. People from adjoining slips were there to watch and they too stood in awe.
Finally one of the guys on the dock watching said "Yea, real nice job Skippy, but your in the wrong slip"! And the dock crowd and his buds broke out in applause.
I almost fell off my boat laughing at this guys crestfallen face.
I guess it will take a while for him to live that down, with all his buddies there to see it.
