The draft update hasn't helped the problem with entering the KGV Dry Dock in Southampton!!!

Hi Mike.

I think "width" may be the relevant expression here... 

Take a run up and see how far up you can jam Latitude.

Wouldn't be the first time you've had that thought Terry

Not much space there to turn for a 'run' especially without tugs!!

Come up the Solent at full speed, keeping close in to the quayside (Starboard side). As you get a short distance away from the Dock, throw a mooring line out from about 2/3 of the way up. She'll swing into the dock at almost full speed if you get the right bollard at the right time. It's all in the wrist action.
