I will look...

Not a bad idea, waving my stick. I got a guide dog in November, and wondered if he could earn his keep by jumping in and keeping the stern clear. I did ask his trainer if he could be taught to woof...

Ah, well, the problem is a phenomena I have learned is Prop Walk. The boat will not go backwards. The stern pulls to port in reverse. Fine going forwards. I have found out it is common in some types...

Re: Blind Skipper (don't panic)...
