Cant work out how to push the bow or stern out as I would normally do when leaving a pontoon??

 

Edit - ah right you don't have too, there is more than enough clear space just to move forward.

Just had a go, I think more reality could be added like ...

 

Fisher'ists sitting on the moorings

Locks being reversed in your face as you approach

A bladeful at the exact moment you commit to turning into the marina

Doggy doo where you tie and untie your ropes

 

I have to say I thought it very good and the responses quite realistic.

Hahaha great stuff! Passed the tutorial! However the laptop is getting warm.

Only another 87 days to go (at least). Not sure if my sanity will survive the 'music'

I think I've  just been to Braunston

there is a control panel top left of screen, use the arrows to select the gates or paddles

It's not realistic ... the gates don't crash open when you ram them at full chat with the lock empty.

 

... er, a friend told me that ...

How did you do so well on the BCN Challenge without knowing that!

Honestly....

 

I have the stern mooring line on, the other mooring lines off, full chat in reverse and the bow isn't coming out! Must be a hell of a cross wind in this marina

Are you available for Team Tawny Owl BCN Challenge crew?

I've not dared try it yet - can you race GRPs for mooring spots?

That duck is in self isolation. It reckons it's got a bad throat.

It's the croaky bits.

The boat handles better than mine!!!  Seriously though, this is excellent! 

 

I couldn't get work properly on a mac on either firefox or safari so I downloaded and it's much better like that.

I've  even managed to "cill" the boat.
