    After a recent demonstration of my incompetence, I am seeking some help on
    how to do better the next time. Here is the problem:

    I am in a twin engine boat (no bowthruster), and I want to back down a
    fairway past some other boats and then put the boat at the end, parallel to
    the fairway (so it is not on option to back past and then go forwards into
    the spot). I need to back the stern into the spot and then get the bow
    in. As we all know, it is easy to kick the stern but much harder to move
    the bow. How does one do this maneuver with grace (or at all)?

    Thanks,

    Steve
