You are right......piloting a boat is NOT like driving a car! It's always been my experience, and I've been boating for almost 50 years, that piloting a boat is difficult to downright dangerous, at times. Docking is probably the most difficult aspect of boating, especially on the Merrimack river, where there is 6 knots of moving water with an offshore wind and an outgoing tide. Sometimes, we just don't even try to dock and wait for improved conditions.
