Another newbie question posted to the old salts,
When you dock at a public place, how do you know your boat is safe from theft or malice? I went on my local river and a town had a public dock and shuttle service to an eatery. The dock was unattended, so we didn?t leave the boat to get lunch. I was afraid someone would either board my boat (bowrider) or untie my lines and shove it out into the river. How do you suppress the fear?
