Use the forces
Yes learn how to use the available forces that makes your boat move around - the wind, the propeller in forward and reverse and the rudder. Use some time training towards a suitable bouy - to approach it forward, alongside and backwards in various wind directions. Every boat has its own ways of reacting to the current conditions, so whatever you chose, you have to learn how your boat will move. And - take it slowly and if it didn't come out your way the first time - do it again - it doesn't matter if the people around thinks that you're a no gooder at sea - as long as you get yourself and the boat where you want it - in one piece. good luck toomas / Celeste
