Mono w/o bow thruster... will put my docking 101 skills to a test. We had a Moorings 46.3 with bow thrusters. My worry at JVD was getting the stern away from the T-Dock without slamming into it. They were very helpful about where to place fenders and how to back away from it. Now Oil Nut Bay was a lot more fun. Our slip required us to back in with probably 20 knots wind 30 degrees or so off the starboard bow. Bow thrusters couldn't kick the bow back over to the starboard finger pier. Dock help finally jumped into our dinghy and pushed it over like a tugboat. After our return I took an ASA online course in docking and maneuvering, asked the instructor how I should have handled that situation so now I'm all ready for my next BVI trip.
