Welcome to Navel Gazing at Camp David Shorts. Embark with us on a journey to master the art of boating during incoming tides as we back out of a slip and leave the marina with finesse. Understanding Tides and Currents Before we push off, let’s talk tides! Did you know that tides are the longest waves on Earth, traveling across entire ocean basins? Understanding their patterns is key to a smooth departure. Strategic Slip Exit Strategize your slip exit. With the tide pushing against you, it’s like playing a game of chess with the sea. Position your boat at a 45-degree angle and let the tide work for you, not against you. The Art of Throttle Control Gentle on the throttle, captain! In an incoming tide, less is more. A soft touch can be the difference between a graceful exit and a marina mishap. Anchor Wisdom from Experts Bob Sweet’s "Boat Handling and Docking" dives into the skills needed for precise boat control, while Alain Poiraud’s "The Complete Anchoring Handbook" teaches us the art of staying put when you choose to. Navigating Crowded Marinas Exiting during high traffic? Timing is as crucial as tide knowledge. Watch the flow, find your moment, and glide out with confidence. Unexpected Perspective: The Tide as Your Dance Partner Think of the tide as your dance partner in the water waltz. It leads, you follow, and together you perform the marina exit dance. It’s not just science, it’s art!

Rule 18 is quite complex with many factors which need to be taken into account to decide if a boat should get room at the mark or not. The first step is to understand the positions of the boat when the first boat hits the zone which is a circle 3 times the length of the first boat to reach the mark. In this video it was 108 feet as the J109 leading into the mark is 36 feet long. The A35 which was approaching from behind was going a lot faster and established an overlap shortly after they entered the zone, they tried to barge in but the skipper on the J109 new the rules and held firm forcing the the A35 to do a tack and a gybe to round the mark and avoid a collision. The knowing the rules and clearly signalling the opposition boat when you reach the zone is the only way to make it clear to your competitors that they have no room and they should keep clear.
