Steve, I noticed your last minute tied bits thread is closed,

Here are a few:

1. teach your daughters how to tie the fender line to the boat, assign them a fender and a specific spot on the boat (port and starboard) Once you receive your docking instructions from the dock master have your girls tie their fender. The will be proud and get a sense of accomplishment.

2. When approaching a mooring ball, line your vessel up with the pendant of the ball, rather than the way other boats in the mooring field are pointing.

3. If you do have a nice freezer, put your "drinking" ice in the freezer. You will be surprised how much colder and long lasting it will become by doing so.

4. Go down the water slide at Scrub.

5. Encourage your girls to collect sea glass rather than sea shells.

Hope you have a great time,

Tony
