Hi All, after about 40 trips in our E27 I finally put ding on her starboard side after scraping the anchor on the bow of another boat as I was trying to get into our slip. Coming into our fairway, our slip is on the starboard side with a port side tie up. The tide was going out at the midway point so the water was moving from port to starboard / left to right across the beam. Even in forward gear this was pushing the stern of the boat to starboard as well as the entire boat coming in kind of sideways. There was no wind condition.
My question is what is the correct way to handle the boat in this condition so I can come into the fairway straight and make a nice sharp turn to starboard into my slip like I've done so many times before. Any advice would be most helpful, thanks.
