This of course only works in reasonably calm water or if the wind blowing away from shore. If it is blowing to ya it gets real tricky.

I ran my charter boat for years. When changing locations I could back it down and the 1st mate would have the engine running and gear set to run before I returned from parking. BUT, that was not a 5er,
