Tips for Stillwater
- Do the prep in the parking area (drain plug in, straps off, lines and fenders ready), then back down only when it's your turn.
- Back in only until the stern floats, and set the parking brake before anyone gets out.
- Load with the winch, not the throttle, so Stillwater stays usable for everyone.
- When you leave Stillwater, pull off any weeds and drain all water from the boat.
