Just exercising his right of way as vessel in restricted waters. Docked boats should have known better to give way!

I guess that the tug was there only as a bumper just in case something hit the starboard side and as usual that was the only side that did not hit anything

So important when u say "begin a turn to starboard" you make it clear it is the ships starboard and not the tugs!!!!

The perfect remote location to practice a three point turn. Our boat also pulls to the left in reverse.
