Catherine, if you ever have the time and interest take a ride on the Badger. Each docking is a unique ship handling experience. A timely anchor drop, pivot on the hook and differential power on the screws. VERY timely coordination with the engine room via chadburns, coal smoke in the air.... Each time is different depending on wind current etc. No simulators to learn and practice on for the Badger either.
