Stern-to in Hydra harbour

The only "professional" thing to do is to moor with the stern against the quay. But a lot of awkward (and quite entertaining) episodes happen when sailors with little experience try to manouvre a yacht of 41 feet and severalt tons.

The harbours are usually located in the middle of the small towns, so the closest "waterhole" is often not more than 30 meters from the yacht... The space is brotherly shared between sailyachts, other leisure boats and the local fishers.
