The Admiral has been considering an outing for just the girls-friends since Grade 3, all of them.
We've been on the water since '11 & acquired our current 260 Sundeck in '15. While on the water she does most of the driving. I do most of the deck hand chores while directing her on controlling the boat when we anchor. She's at a confidence level where I believe she's ready to go out on her own.
Started berthing the boat 2 years ago, however, she's not ready for backing in yet.
First season I did it can easily be described as a modern version of the Gong Show! Kept at it & now it's second nature.
Made up a checklist for her & others aboard to follow. Believe it's comprehensive enough but open to opinions. Please feel free to offer suggestions.
We are on The St. John River system.
