When you row a boat on the pond why does the boat go forward when you are pulling the oars towards you?
When you row a boat on a pond, you are usually facing the back of the boat. Also, the oars are usually attached in the middle of the oar to the side of the boat. So if you pull the handle of the oar towards the front of the boat (towards you when rowing), the paddle of the oar is moving towards the back of the boat (the oar acts like a lever-arm). To move a boat forward, you actually have to move water backward! It's pushing water back that really moves the boat forward. So, when you pull the oar towards you, the paddle moves towards the back of the boat, and that pushes water towards the back of the boat, pushing the boat the opposite direction, which is forward! Just make sure to turn around once in a while because you're not looking where you are going!

If the wind or current is pushing your boat away from the dock as you are preparing to doc which one should you secure first?
When preparing to dock in conditions where wind or current is pushing your boat away from the dock, you should secure the bow line first. This helps to stabilize the boat and prevent it from drifting further away from the dock. Once the bow is secured, you can then secure the stern line to complete the docking process.
How do you leave dock with current pushing you agenst it?
To leave the dock with the current pushing against you, first assess the current's strength and direction. Start by using your engine to create thrust away from the dock while simultaneously steering the boat at an angle toward the current, allowing it to push you off the dock. If possible, use fenders to protect the boat from the dock as you maneuver. Once free, steer into the current to gain control and head in your desired direction.
