So me and the missus were out practicing our “crew coordination” for docking while the marina is still mostly deserted, and it was a bit windy. What an education on how much a 24 foot pontoon is influenced by the wind.
We had some issues with one approach, and while we were focused on the bow clearing a neighboring slip's piling the motor came in contact with the nearby fixed pier. It didn’t seem like much. When we were finally done for the day I noticed I had about a 2” crack in the motor cover.
I know I had to have a first “dent” at some point, but I feel bad it happened to the motor cover. We learned a lot of lessons today. Someone please tell me it’s all right.
