Boat Docking 101

Have you ever been in this situation?

You have a need to leave your boat for a while, but you want it to be there when you return. How do you insure that this will happen? There is no parking brake. Trust me, I've looked. And anchors and dock lines are a pain in the butt.

So what can you do?

Here is one idea. Just look for a suitable piling, approach it at the proper speed and viola!. You boat ain't going nowhere!
