docking
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my engine will be fixed this week and I can enjoy the Amphi next
weekend for a graduation party etc.Also next Sat., my fiance will be with her students' prom at a restaurant called The River Club which is along the river and has a dock. I told her that maybe we could enter
the river by a nearby boat ramp and arrive at the River Club by Amphicar for fun, but I don't know
about docking it. Right now I do not have any of the side rubber bumpers installed. Even if they were,
wouldn't I have to be careful about docking so that the new paint doesn't get all scratched up.
I know NOTHING about boating. On the cover of that World's Worst Cars book I see the two
little bouys hanging off the side of the green Amphicar. I feel so stupid but would they have anything
to do with protecting the side of the Amphicar from rubbing up against a dock? Any docking advice to
share? Where do you tie the docking ropes on an Amphicar (the back bumpers?)
I don't even know how to tie knots! Also anyone actually carry an anchor? I see that legally in Ohio
any boat over 14 feet has to carry an anchor, but since it's so close to 14 feet I don't think anyone would care? Seems like there was something elso I was going to ask but now I can'tremember what it was.
