So a few weeks ago we were at St. Simons Island in GA. We had a bit of fun getting in to Morninstar there, but not too bad.
The wind was blowing 15-20 out of the east, the current was about 2 knots through the marina, and there were weekend boats buzzing around everywhere.
This guy comes in, piloting from up top. He needed to wait for someone to leave the fuel dock. He presses one button at the upper helm, then leaves and goes down below to wait. That boat didn't move 6 inches in any direction for the next 15 minutes. With all the chaos, current and wind going on - just amazing.
Something in your brain just doesn't register when you see a boat like that just sitting rock-solid still in all that wind and current. The technology is so cool
Puts us "practicing just trying not to use the bow thruster" to shame.......
