Re: Post pictures of your formula!!!
I'll tell ya, I have seen some very impressive hardware...hit the dock really hard trying to pick up a card on the end of a 20 foot long pole 
It seems like people feel the need to nose in and then back off, which doesn't work in some conditions. Or the ones that drive by too close and forget about the stern steer when pulling off-ouch.
One of the most impressive moves I have seen on a card pickup was Ed Mosmiller (RIP) in his turbine Skater. Sidled up near the dock at about 1 mph, walked it sideways about 6 feet in and then 6 feet out, and then pulled slowly away-pretty impressive with 1400 HP turbines and surface drives.

Re: Post pictures of your formula!!!
With regards to the above "misquote" after much thought for a reply I can only come up with "bite me". 
WHEN my boat is in the water I can parallel park that thing, as opposed to THOSE who's docking efforts at a certain Holiday Inn are still spoken of today.....
