Are there any days when it is too fast for your boat to handle, or at least too fast, where you feel unsafe?
Hi and welcome to Winni. We keep our pontoon at North Water and go out once a week all summer. It can be a bit tricky coming in depending on traffic and current. I mostly do a 'K' turn to position for going into the valet area. Problem is that's difficult if there is traffic. Sometimes you just have to go past and turn around when traffic permits. Occasionally, depending on wind, current, and traffic, I reverse just at the entrance and back in. Good luck and enjoy the summer!
