What about how to park your boat. 18' in the skinny water before we rafted it up to my buddies 25' in the deeper water. Anchor line on the big boat attached to a bungee and then we can pull both boats back to shore via the second anchor.

This is what's up. Anchoring, getting out and wading, that's how you bag a sow gator trout up shaller in the skinny. Hull slap = nil.

That's from 2019. MSC Opera docking in Venice, Italy where apparently they hate these large cruise ships coming into their small port.

Captain Carmine Siviero sentenced to five months in prison while the chief engineer and the chief electrician were sentenced to two months in prison. Two other crew members were sentenced to 10 days behind bars while other crew members who also cited in the case, including the officer on watch, the co-navigator, and the security officer, were exonerated. MSC reports, however, “the sentences were issued indicate that the alleged offense was deemed a minor one by the Italian legal code. As such, all defendants were able to commute their sentences into monetary fines,” and they noted that they would be able to continue their professional careers.
