That worked for me in my situation...certainly not for others. If you followed some posters logic...you can see that thinking outside the box isnt there.

But the premise that it needs to be thought through, and many more angles covered that it appears to newbies is certainly valid. How it is accomplished is where even some experienced boaters who have never done it don't get it.
nicely stated.
