He knew there was a strong current as we had been taking advantage of it\u00a0maintaining a speed of over 8 mph with the throttle pulled back. \u00a0He had to make the left turn to enter Harbor Town Marina in Hilton Head, South Carolina and this meant the current would be pushing us sideways.<\/p>\n<\/a>Bob did a great job maneuvering and \u00a0we safely entered the Marina and its very sheltered water.
