Hello,
I am new here (first post). We are currently looking at a new moorage to store our 23' Monterey cuddy cabin. We have the choice of a slip that would have us pulling in against the current, or one that would have us pulling in with the current. My understanding is that it's usually preferable to dock against the current, but the problem with that side is that we have a much smaller amount of room in which to maneuver (approximately 30') than we would on the side where we'd be pulling in with the current (approximately 40').
So I'm looking for opinions: would you take the slip with lots of maneuvering room, but with the current pulling you into the slip, or the one that's tight but against the current?
Thanks for any input!
Doug
