When you park a boat do you use ropes ? I dock mine and use lines

I have no preference bow in or stern in (thats only because I don't have a slip to park inn).
Still checking out my F-26 getting it ready for next season.
But after seeing your view at Moose Point Marine I will have to take a day and drive up to have a serious look at this marinia.
If it's this lovely I may park there an go bow in (that's after I learn to drive it)
Maybe I can get the slip next to you just so everytime I park you can sit on pins & needles awaiting the suspence.

P.S.
Thanks for the info on your composting toilet.Planning a trip to Ohio in September an plan to stop at Nature's Head to really check it out an maybe purchase one.

Why not kill two birds with one stone... drive up to Moose deer and look at my head in action.... the factory will only have un-used ones.

Bow in. Our marina has 2 "social dock" areas for lawnchairs and gatherings, and like so many other, the view aft is out the channel to the Mississippi River. In the mornings, we watch the Bald Eagles fish, just about my favorite part of Sat or Sun AM.

The marina is the least of it... the beauty of the location is the adjacent cruising ground with unbelievable anchorages.

Anchorages like these:

At the dock at Henry's Fish Restaurant on Frying Pan Island Georgian Bay. That was two weeks after I moved Done Dreamin' up from Detroit, hence the old name (Thanksgiving 2006)

usually back in just because that's the 'norm' around here. but, there are times when i pull in bow first just for funsies.

my slip is toward the end of the dock, and i have a view of the water, etc. so, now and then i'll pull in bow first. did so today, actually. went to get gas, and pulled in straight.

the big problem in doing so is having to change my line and power cords...then change 'em back when i go back to the "norm".

Ready, your F32 is perhaps the most perfectly proportioned sports fisherman I have ever seen. She is beautiful. I am soooo getting the "four foot syndrome"! Plus I am envious of your boat slip's view. All you see off my back deck is the mosqitos as they fly out of the woods to carry me away!!
