    took me a long time to get the hang of this bacwards docking. Wrecked the marina many a time, all the shipyards would be busy for the next few years reparing the damage done.

    After much wiggeling and bouncing off the walls and docks and playing 8-ball with the buoy, but finally I got it in ...

    Backwards is the trick. Otherwise the wind keeps working against you....

    Hhhmmm... I tried turning on my pop-up blocker, but the game still worked fine. Are you on dial-up? Could be related to a slow connection.

    managed to finish it, after alot of attempts. Bow thrusters are the key, and running over a couple of the moored yachts as well, helped!!!!! Great game.

    Great game. I was able to dock her first time trying. But I think I had an easy dock. Maybe I should become a cruise ship captain :D .

    The first few are quick and simple... I think it's the 4th and 5th that start having higher winds and then trouble ensues.
