Hi Bruce,

Terry and I returned for an unchaperoned weekend on our boat. We just went over to Cowichan Bay - we planned a short trip and did not want to be too ambitious on our first solo. There was a lot of marine traffic, including the large ferries in Swartz Bay.

Everything went well, in large part due to your assistance - thank you. We saw more than one example of a large boat being docked very poorly! What a circus it can be on the water.

Our docking was very good, and drew an appreciative comment from the owner of the marina. A little knowledge of spring lines would help a lot of skippers at the dock.

Trust that you are well, and enjoying the nicer weather.

Regards,

Brian & Terry
