Below is a website link (I hope) to a pretty interesting effort to dock a boat in rough seas. It was sent to me by a fellow sailor. The video is 7 minutes in length. It is well worth watching the entire 7 minutes.
It is not a sailboat and, widespread rumors to the contrary, I was NOT at the helm.

As you may have gathered, it is yet another dreary, rainy day in South Florida. No diving, no sailing. Just consuming medicinal Guinness and surfing the Internet

Re: Incredible docking in rough seas
The captain made it look sooooo easy, too. I can't imagine driving a semi off the ramp. Nice video, thanks for posting.
Hope the weather improves.
