splits at the dock

[Floating Carter]

ok so my nephew is driving pulling up to the dock to pick up his wife and MIL ... I'm in the bow with the rope ready to step off.. he's coming in a little too fast but not too much so I step with one foot, now I'm one foot in one foot out and he realizes just how quickly he is moving...yep you got it, he pulls it into reverse, now I never have been able to do a split and obviously still can't so I got verrrry wet, glasses and all...he's fired BTW or maybe not, he needs the practice, but I think I'll let someone else handle the bow line <br /><br />Lisa

Splish-splash, he was takin' a bath.<br /><br />Too funny. I can laugh because I've been dunked in the same way, myself.

What CAT said. Only those of us who have done the "dock splits" are allowed to laugh!

Anybody ever do the "full body splits"? Both hands on the boat, both feet on the dock? I'm sorry to say I've done that one too.

I did it during a white water rafting trip, trying to step onto a large rock. Raft started moving, I ended up going through a class 4 rapid without a raft...and I can't swim.

Many years ago I was launching in a considerable cross wind. In order to avoid drifting over the metal guards I got my brother, on the parallel dock, to hold a bow & stern line to stop the side drift. As I backed off slowly I heard a loud splash. When I looked around the first item to surface was one hand holding his glasses. It was freezing cold & he didn't appreciate my laughter.
