Wind checks were just a box to tick until a sudden breeze swayed my boom
Now I give the weather app a serious look every morning and it kept a tricky placement steady.

Honestly, used to think checking the wind was just for the pros. My lack of skill has turned me into a full on amateur meteorologist though. Kept the boat in one piece this season, mostly sporting a new dent in my pride.

Read some article that talked about dock lines being the real test of a captain, not the weather. Sounds about right after that story about your pride taking a hit, @haydeng47. At least the boat's fine.

Maybe, but reading the weather right can save you from needing perfect dock skills in the first place. Both seem pretty key to not messing things up.
